What is Gochujang?

Gochujang is a red chili paste that also contains glutinous rice, fermented soybeans, salt, and occasionally sweeteners. It’s thick and sticky and can be quite spicy and very concentrated and pungent in flavor.

• Is Gochujang spicy? I am a big wimp when it comes to spiciness, so I usually get a pretty mild variety. The heat can vary depending on what brand you buy, so check the label for the heat indicator. We like this one.
• Where do you buy gochujang? You can find gochujang at any grocery store. It will be in the Asian food section near the soy sauce and

Pineapple Jalapeño Turkey Burgers

Add some tropical flavor and a spicy kick to your next burger with this delicious and saucy pineapple jalapeño turkey burgers. Perfect for summer cookouts or anytime you’re in the mood for a unique and tasty twist on a classic dish.

We had a bunch of family in town a couple weeks back and I was trying to think up something quick and easy to have for dinner. Instantly BBQ came to mind because you can just throw it all on the grill and sides are always easy. I’m not a huge hamburger fan so I changed things up and made them sweet, spicy and saucy.

I loved the juiciness that the Mar A Lago turkey burgers recipe had because of the fruit in it so I threw pineapple into this one. The preserves give it a little heat and sweetness which even our youngest loved. The burgers stay really moist and when you bite into them you get a little sweet and tang from the sauce.

Ingredients for Pineapple Jalapeño Turkey Burgers

These burgers are sweet and tangy and I crave them all summer long! Here is everything you will need:

Burgers

• Ground Turkey: don’t go too lean or the burgers will be crumbly and dry
• Salt and Pepper: adds flavor to the meat
• Hamburger Buns: We prefer brioche for the best flavor and texture.
• Toppings: Havarti Cheese, Lettuce, Tomato Slices and Red Onion Slices

Sauce

• Pineapple Jalapeño Preserves: We love Kelly’s brand, but any brand you can find should work great.
• Spices: Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Ginger
• Lemon Juice: adds acidity to the sauce
• Soy Sauce: adds flavor

The measurements and details for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Make Pineapple Jalapeño Turkey Burgers

We have found that chilling the turkey burger patties after they are formed makes all the difference, so be sure to plan that into your prep time. Here are the steps:

1. Form the Patties: Divide the ground turkey into 4 equal balls and form into patties and cover both sides in salt and pepper.
2. Refrigerate: Place the patties in a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour.
3. Make Sauce: While the turkey patties are chilling, make the sauce by adding all the ingredients to a small bowl and whisking everything until well combined.
4. Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat, and grill the patties for 6-8 minutes on each side. Only flip them once and don’t press them.
5. Stir: Add all the ingredients for the sauce to a sauce pan and whisk together
6. Assemble: Top each patty with a slice of Havarti cheese and close the lid for a minute or tw

Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas Recipe [+Video]

Savor the melt-in-your-mouth goodness of Easy Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas! Tender shredded chicken wrapped in soft flour tortillas, smothered in a creamy sauce made completely from scratch, and baked to golden perfection. The ultimate comfort food, ready in no time!

I grew up not loving my mom’s enchiladas. I’m sorry mom. I think I’d love them nowadays, but because she uses a condensed soup which I pretty much never have, I’ve come up with an adapted version that uses sour cream and a roux instead of the condensed soup. Though, if you all want the old version let me know in the comments! I don’t even use an enchilada sauce in this recipe and you won’t even miss it!

Ingredients for Chicken Enchiladas from Scratch

We are essentially making cream of chicken soup from scratch, which may seem like extra work, but I love knowing everything going into my dinner! Using rotisserie chicken will save us some time, and everything else is so easy to get your hands on. Here is everything you’ll need:

• Butter: combines with the flour to create the roux for the creamy white sauce
• All-Purpose Flour: Helps thicken the white sauce.
• Chicken Broth: adds chicken flavor
• Sour Cream: makes the white sauce extra rich and creamy
• Diced Green Chiles: adds flavor
• Salt and Pepper: adds flavor
• Rotisserie Chicken: Break down a whole chicken yourself or buy the prepackaged rotisserie chicken breast meat that is sold at Costco.
• Monterey Jack Cheese: I recommend buying a block and grating it yourself.
• Mexican Cheese Blend: found with all the other cheeses in the cheese section
• Taco Seasoning: I like to make my own big batch and keep it on hand for when it’s needed, but a store-bought brand works fine too.
• Flour Tortillas: Grab your favorite store-bought brand or make them yourself. If you go with store-bought, I recommend the uncooked tortillas that you cook yourself.

Elote Grilled Mexican Corn Salad [+Video]

Stop ruining your corn! If you’re just eating it off the cob, you’re missing out. This easy Grilled Mexican Corn Salad takes summer corn to the next level! It’s perfect for potlucks, BBQs, and parties!

Mexican Street Corn Salad Recipe

Have you ever had Elote? It’s a popular Mexican street food featuring grilled corn on the cob slathered in creamy sauce, topped with crumbled cheese, chili powder, and a squeeze of lime. And let me tell you, if you’re not careful, you might find yourself channeling your inner Nacho Libre while devouring it.

Now, enter Elote Grilled Mexican Corn Salad! All the flavors of street corn without the mess. Juicy grilled corn, tossed with Mexican crema, cotija cheese, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, fresh lime juice, red onion, and cilantro! Every bite is bold, tangy, and downright addictive.

The key here is charring the corn just right. Too little, and you miss that smoky flavor; too much, and you’re eating burnt disappointment.

We first fell in love with elote at a tiny farmers’ market in Idaho (yes, Idaho!). Now, we make this salad at home all the time. It’s perfect for BBQs, potlucks, or just eating straight from the bowl with a spoon.

Want the best results? Use fresh corn, don’t skimp on the lime juice, and mix while the corn is warm so the flavors really soak in. Oh, and whatever you do—don’t skip the cotija. Trust me, it makes all the difference.

What’s Needed for Mexican Corn Salad?

Stop Bringing Boring Sides to Potlucks! This Mexican Corn Salad Is What You NEED! Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

• Fresh sweet corn
• Crema
• Lime juice
• Spices (cumin, chili powder, salt, pepper)
• Cotija cheese
• Red onion
• Fresh cilantro

The measurements for each ingredient can be found on the recipe card at the end of this post.

How to Avoid Mushy Corn:

Nobody wants a sad, mushy corn salad! The biggest mistake? Overcooking the corn until it loses its crisp bite. Whether you’re grilling or roasting, cook the corn just enough to get a nice char while keeping it firm.

Tip: Let the corn cool slightly before cutting it off the cob. This helps it stay juicy and keeps your salad from turning into a mushy mess!

What’s the Best Cheese for Elote Corn Salad?

What cheese should you use for elote corn? Oh boy, this is a tricky question because to be honest, even if there’s one that’s usually used, Chihuahua cheese or Cotija Cheese, not everywhere sells it. We most often use Cotija cheese because it’s available in all Utah stores, but if you can’t find either we recommend parmesan cheese in the can or fresh parmesan, or even a mild Feta.
