Skip to Recipe Mango Season continues here in South Florida, and I am lucky to have plenty of donors giving me a steady supply of mangoes. I’m usually not much of a risk-taker with ingredients. I am too just cheap to accept that I might have to throw food away if it doesn’t work out.
Skip to Recipe When you’re a working adult, you sometimes don’t have time to prepare an elaborate meal. Sure, I would love to have the time and energy to make a lasagna from scratch on a weeknight, but the reality is that it’s a miracle that I even pack tomorrow’s lunch before bed some days.

Traditionally, it’s cooked in a Mayan oven called a pib, a hole in the ground lined with hot stones. My first exposure to puerco pibil was watching a Robert Rodriguez movie
