Arriba!

Now, I don’t take spanish. In fact, I haven’t taken Spanish since the 6th grade. A good 6 years. This does not stop me from loving some delicious mexican food though.

Taco Salad

Recipe:

  • Romaine Lettuce
  • Sweet Corn
  • Broccoli (not normal, but a favorite veggie of mine)
  • Tomatoes
  • Carrots
  • Spicy Refried Beans

Spicy Quesedilla

Recipe:

  • 2 La Tortilla Wraps
  • 1/2 Tomato thinly sliced
  • Mozzarella Cheese
  • Trader Joe’s Smooth & Creamy Spicy Hummus

P.S. A lot of you asked about the gums in my previous post. Go to Deb’s blog where she explains all about them.

  25. wow, that taco salad looks good! I was reading your biography. How funny. When I was younger, I HATED peanut butter. Now I am addicted. Cashew butter is RIDICULOUSLY awesome. Have you tried macadamia nut butter? I use it instead of salad dressing on my salads.

  26. I haven’t had refried beans in ages…your taco salad looks delicious! 😀

  27. YUM! I love how colorful this salad is! Looks great!

  28. Mexican food is a true love of mine. I grew up in Oklahoma and we have amazing hole in the wall Mexican restaurants. Since I moved to NC, I have to make it myself since they only have chain restaurants 😦 So sad!! Your Mexican dishes look fantastic! xoxo

  29. Your pictures are beautiful! 🙂

  30. That quesadilla looks great! I never make them enough, considering how easy (and tasty!) they are.

  31. now all you need is a nice big margarita 🙂
