Royal Chihuahua Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and stir until the sugar is dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Let cool completely. (The syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)
• Combine the tequila, lemon juice, 1/2 ounce of the sugar syrup and the marmalade in a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake until very cold, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• Strain into a tall glass filled with ice. Top with the prosecco and garnish with an orange twist.

Steps:

• For the house seasoning: Mix the salt, granulated garlic, smoked paprika and black pepper in a bowl and use to season everything.
• For the Chihuahua pasta sauce: Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and start browning the chorizo, about 4 minutes. Add the onions and minced garlic, season with salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes with green chile, stir and cook an additional 3 minutes. Stir in the fresh tomatoes, oregano, cumin and hot links. Add the chicken stock, bring to a boil and then simmer uncovered for 45 minutes.
• Cook the linguine until al dente. Set aside.
• Sprinkle the steak with the house seasoning and grill on high heat, 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest 5 minutes before dicing the steak into bite-size chunks.
• Heat up 3 ounces of water in a saute pan and toss in the pasta to reheat. Toss in the steak and cook more if desired. Introduce the pasta sauce to the pan and heat it up to at least 140 degrees F. Nest the contents into a bowl, top with cotija cheese and garnish with fresh cilantro.
