"Chef Beatriz Martines shares her journey of cooking and cuisine from her hometown in Jalisco, Mexico with the Woodlands. Find dishes like refreshing ceviches, the saucy, fall-off-the-bone birria tatemade — a saucy slow-braised lamb shank served with rice and beans, and Martines’ signature trompito al pastor, a hunk of marinated roasted pork, which is delivered to the table on a mini spit. End with something sweet, like the churros gordos, which are stuffed with cajeta, or Xalisco’s fun spin on the tres leches, which is made with a cranberry compote and topped with a vanilla-cream cheese icing, and orange zest." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart
