I am feeling cheated.
The main bread product eaten in this household is tortillas, and I make them twice a week. But they are not baked. I'm a baker.
I have noticed I am making a lot of cookies and brownies though  .
Yesterday I made Mexican brownies that have hot pepper and cinnamon added...very tasty.
Today I am making more tortillas.

Beth, do you use Mexican chocolate in those brownies? I have a recipe for Mexican chocolate cookies that include it, and I LOVE them  So delicious!

No I don't. The recipe calls for a good quality cocoa powder and I use my Penzey's Natural High Fat cocoa.
This is the recipe I use.

Sounds like my recipe with the addition of the spices. Thanks.

Yeah, with all that butter and sugar, how can you go wrong? 
The 1/4 t. hot chili powder is not enough, I am up to 1 t.  .

Made a casserole dish of bread pudding this (Monday) evening. The recipe said raisins were optional, so I optioned to include them. Since they had been in the pantry for a while, I needed to soften them up - so I warmed a little bit of rum and tossed the raisins in the bowl. We have enough for dessert tomorrow too after our servings tonight, plus a food container set aside to drop off at my SIL's tomorrow.
Thinking that the next time I make it, I'll toss in dried cherries and a few bits of chocolate.

In place of raisins, try Craisins. Really sweet when dried.

I'd go with the dried cherries. Love them! and they remind me of Michigan. Btw, all fruits are really sweet when dried because the sugar is concentrated when the moisture is removed.

I'm not sure that's a correct statement, GG. Peppers are botanically clasified as fruits, and when dried, are often pungent and hot. I do have to admit that Habeneros, of teh Scotch Bonnet family, have tasted sweet to me, especially when fresh.
Just sayin' .

Come on, Chief. Beans, peas, cucumbers and eggplant are botanically classified as fruits, too. I was referring to what we traditionally think of in the culinary world as fruits, i.e., they taste sweet and contain a lot of sugar.
