Three generations of borderland cooking
Yvette Marquez founded "Muy Bueno" to preserve and share recipes passed down through her family across the Texas-Mexico border region. The project grew from a blog into a cookbook series, positioning it as a family-history record as much as a recipe archive.
Direct ties to fajita and Tex-Mex tradition
Marquez's recipes draw heavily on the borderlands foodways that also produced fajitas — marinated beef, chile-forward seasoning, and grilling technique passed down informally within families rather than published in early cookbooks. Her work is a widely cited example of home cooks documenting Tex-Mex and border cuisine on their own terms.
