An early Southwestern cookbook from southern Arizona, with ads for Mexican businesses around Tucson. According to Pain's preface, the recipes are taken from local Mexican restaurants, and include menudo, tomatoes stuffed with avocado, caldo de queso, Mexican hominy, green corn tamales, chili con carne, enchiladas "restaurant style," Jalisco-style topopos, chiles rellenos, tacos, red chili sauce, and other Mexican and Southwestern specialties. A couple pages lay out the principles of Mexican cooking, and one page is dedicated to the importance of corn in Mexican tortillas and masa.
