Profile:

Rafael Cruz's recipes start with a simple question: what can be on the table tonight without a long shopping list? Most of his work sits in Quick & Easy Weeknight Meals, where you will find bean tostadas, taco salads, bell pepper nachos, spicy tuna melts and no-cook ceviche made with pantry staples.

A second group of his recipes comes from Global Comfort Classics: hearty taco soup, lean ground beef chili, smoky chicken thighs, slow-cooker BBQ pulled chicken and brisket tacos finished with fresh pico de gallo. A handful of lighter salads and a few weekend projects round out the collection.

His recipes are written around everyday cooking. Steps are short, serving sizes are stated, and flavor comes from chiles, citrus, smoked paprika and fresh toppings rather than specialty equipment. Browse his latest recipes below to find a dinner that fits your evening.
