One of my favorite things about working at our community's child development center is the opportunity to work with people from cultures not my own. One of my favorite things is experiencing different food and flavors--literally an added treat. Tacos, tamales, enchiladas, and pozole, among other delicious dishes have been savored. Momos, it turns out, are also wonderful.
Of course, we've all had a taco before. But recently I got to have a first-hand experience making authentic Mexican tacos with a dear friend of mine. We prepared everything from scratch: tortillas, salsa, and all!
Here is our journey...
We had to cut up lots and lots of steak (bistec) and season it with salt, garlic, and lime juice...
To begin the salsa, we peeled the tomatillos...
And roasted them up, along with three types of peppers...
Maza, corn flour, mixed with a bit of regular flour, and water created the beginnings of tortillas...
And the press to flatten them into discs...
I clearly need some more practice...
Because mine turned into Pac-Man!...
Blending the salsa...
And serving up the toppings...
To create some truly delicious food!
Yum!
Let us walk in the holy presence.
