Smoky Collards & Shrimp with Cheesy Grits

Jacob Fox

Look for precooked beets in the produce department of your grocery store.

There are three types in this soup.

We bake the tortillas to ensure a crispy base, while also using less oil than deep-frying.

Smoked Brisket Tacos

Leftover brisket makes terrific tacos.

Salty cotija cheese, also called queso anejo, provides a sharp counterpoint to the smoky brisket.

Find it near other specialty cheeses or in Mexican grocery stores.

To make this recipe kosher, omit the cheese and use vegan yogurt.

Dish them up with a side salad to complete the meal.

To make the light, creamy sauce, residual pasta water is cleverly combined with Parmesan cheese.
