Pickled Red Onions
Pickled red onions are obligatory on any pibil preparations, or fish tikin xic, but Rick also loves them on papadzules, as well as Yucatecan ceviches and tacos. Rick shares the time-tested method he has used in his restaurants for decades.

Chicken Tinga Tacos

Margarita Master Class
The classic Margarita is a time-honored recipe. It first involves mixing the right ingredients at the correct proportions, as well as choosing a proper orange liqueur, and using tequila that is 100% agave. Then, you can improvise to taste.

Tikin Xic
Tikin Xic is one of the most delicious, rustic fish dishes in Mexico, one coated with tangy achiote marinade. It is an easy dish if you use fish fillets, and a challenging (yet rewarding) one if you butterfly an entire fish.

Episode 82023-10-01
Green Chile Adobo Dip
This is an herbaceous green chile adobo that gets slightly unexpected company: luscious crema and mayonnaise. In the end, this is a super-easy, creamy, spicy dip for your vegetable crudite, or an accompaniment to a grilled shrimp platter.

Red Chile Adobo with Glazed Shrimp
Rick shares a super-easy, super-useful version of classic Red Chile Adobo, that when coupled with the glossy-sweet punch of agave syrup, makes for an impressively easy glazed shrimp dish. Do you need a wok for this recipe? Ideally, yes.
Episode 112023-10-01

Chocoflan
Rick first tasted chocoflan a few decades ago, and it blew him away to the point that he immediately went on the hunt for the recipe. Now, he shares it with you. Though this recipe may appear daunting, success will taste oh so good.
Episode 132023-10-01

Bayless Family Pizza!
This recipe has stood the test of time in Rick's family kitchen. His approach began as a grilled pizza that, over time, became a baked one with a thin crispy crust. In the summertime, he loves to scatter on some diced roasted squash.
