Our favorite meals for summer typically feature fresh produce or big, bright pops of flavor that beg to be washed down with an icy cold lemonade or frozen margarita. These recipes from the new cookbook Fast & Fresh Cal-Mex Cooking fall firmly into the second category — plus they’re all ready in 30 minutes or less. “We’re fusing fresh, local California ingredients with the bold flavors of Mexican cooking to create nourishing meals you can feel good about,” says author Caitlin Prettyman. “Many of these recipes were inspired by either traditional Mexican dishes or popular California dishes — just made with a little twist.” Try one of these flavor-packed meals tonight!
