Cook the Book: 'The Tex-Mex Cookbook'
This week's Cook the Book is one we chose with the Super Bowl in mind. You see, chili, nachos, and bean dips are Super Bowl parties, and Robb Walsh's The Tex-Mex Cookbook
Along with the recipes, though, what really makes this book is all the great historical information that Walsh packs into it. From the history of chili joints and "chili queens" to the birth of the nacho, The Tex-Mex Cookbook will give you fodder for small talk during time outs and dud commercials.
And, as always, we're giving away five (5) copies of Tex-Mex this week. All you have to do is answer in the comments: What is your favorite Super Bowl snack?
Winners will be chosen at random from among the commenters, and comments will be open until noon ET, Monday, February 4. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

mozart23 at 4:46PM on 01/28/08
Heh the one good thing about the super bowl- all the grocery stores have specials on avocados, big sourdough rounds, cold cuts, and chicken wings. Hot wings, guacamole, and godmother sandwich, om nom nom! Beer is also, of course, crucial for sports watching.

bobcatsteph3 at 5:41PM on 01/28/08
Wings, definitely. Also home made guacamole (really the only kind of guacamole), or anything else that goes great with cheap american beer.
ScienceandtheCity at 6:05PM on 01/28/08
Guac, definitely guac. Or buffalo wings with lots o' blue cheese dressing. Or parmeson wings with goops of cheesy sauce. Oh! Or seven layer dip.
Wait... I don't even like football.
I think I just changed my own mind.
Tactful_Cactus at 6:09PM on 01/28/08
My homemade corn dip - 4 cans of corn, 2 cans green chiles, 4 green onions sliced, 1/4 cup mayo, 2 c. shredded cheese, handful chopped cilantro, LOTS of cumin. Eat it with Fritos scoops....just awesome!

The cheesy (literally and figuratively) combination of velveeta, rotell, and salsa (Joe T Garcia's - where available). Mix in a crockpot, buy fresh tortilla chips. Terrible and wonderful all at the same time.

Homemade nachos, using oven-toasted flour tortillas brushed with olive oil & sea salt, then topped with browned very lean (96% fat free) ground beef, 2% shredded cheese, and diced olives, chilies etc. until it's all one gooey, tasty mess. That's good snacking.

We often through an "upscale" superbowl party and my favorite snack at these events is gougeres, a puffy, cheesy little pastry.
btw, matt walsh totally rocks. His restaurant reviews here in Houston have never steered us wrong.

triceratops at 7:08AM on 01/29/08
Hard to choose just one but we've got a list of basics that pretty much use interchangeable ingredients so everybody gets a favorite w/o too much fuss. Included are; Jalapeno Poppers, Nacho (ala Frito) Pie, Grilled Kielbasa in a hoagie topped with chili, cheese and onions, Tex-Mex themed hot wings (crushed nacho coating) with avocado/sour cream dips, and the versatile nachos with... Of course some south of the border beer with salt and lime on the can's rim!

For extended TV watching parties in general, it's hard to beat chips and dip. Guac first, onion dip for an occasional change of pace.

Taco salad. I really really deserve this. Whwn my daughter was 5 my parents took her from me because I was an alcholic. I moved to florida 4/4/2007, the day my daughter turned 19, with 10 1/2 years sobriety, my care payed off and money saved for the move after working 2 and 3 jobs for years

Super nachos -- Bearitos white corn chips topped with finely chopped red onions, tomato, sweet peppers, hot peppers, black olives and ground turkey cooked in taco seasoning mix (Bearitos). Spead shredded cheese over and cook on an old cookie sheet in the oven until melted and starting to brown. Serve with guac, salsa, cold beer and perhaps refried bean dip. Oh, did I forget to turn on the superbowl?

Dude, steaks are the, but as we're limited this year by not having a party at our own place, we're bringing home-made cocktail franks, samosas, spicy ground beef pies, and guacamole. Mmmmmmmmmmmm.

my husband and I are not big football fans, so we use the Super Bowl and an excuse to get an easy reservation at places we've been wanting to go. This year we are going to Bar Boulud on SUper Bowl Sunday, so I guess my Super Bowl snack will be pate.

OH! Hands down, it's gotta be "Poop Dip"! It sounds disgusting (just the thing guys like), but it's awesome...! Take a can (or homemade) of your favorite chili con carne and add an 8 ounce bar of cream cheese...stir it all together over medium heat until the cheese is melted into the chili and completely combined. Top with crispy fried bacon bits, shredded cheddar and thinly sliced green onions. Serve with your favorite chips or veggies...we like the scoop shaped corn chips the best!!

jolene278 at 12:30PM on 01/30/08
Jalapeño poppers, but I halve them and stuff them with minced red onion and soft goat cheese whizzed in a mini-processor with 1 canned chipotle pepper and adobo to taste. I arrange the halves cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cover each pepper with a strip of bacon cut to fit the length of the pepper, and roast them for 9-10 minutes or until the bacon is fairly crisp and the filling is bubbly. Cool slightly, then go to town.
That said, I completely loathe football.
Tom Steele at 12:37PM on 01/30/08
I'm torn between chili, guacamole and the old onion dip and ruffles (although these are by no means mutually exclusive!)
psychsarah at 12:42PM on 01/30/08
Chili or Rotel dip!!! I think the key is usually something hearty & fattening to get the full Super Bowl effect, esp. after watching all the junk food commericals thru out the game.
Nugget at 1:06PM on 01/30/08

Super deluxe nachos... meat mixture, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, diced tomatoes -- everything for me but lettuce and beans.
