Mexican food and I go so well together. It’s like bread and butter, inseparable. Well, I’m here to say that Meagan and Mexican food is inseparable as well.
I’m pretty sure that I could eat Mexican food for breakfast, lunch and dinner and then get up the next day and do it all over again. Yes, I know I could! I didn’t say it would be a wise or healthy decision but my stomach is saying, “DO IT.”
I attempted to make fresh tortillas. Key word here — attempted. They didn’t turn out to my liking and I get real picky about my tortillas. Next up on my menu was spanish rice. Success! If you don’t like things that are spicy I recommend using everything as “mild” in this recipe.
Enjoy!
