I used to LOVE tacos ;D

And I like the big hats they wear in the movies. Sombreros?

I have been to Mexico many times and I have never seen nor eaten a taco. Fresh fish and seafood, pork cooked many ways, Fresh made  tortilla shops , ( bring your own tea  towels). Tamale and burrito sellers outside your house at 0600 . All sorts of beans and chilli and chocolate.  Sweet treats galore.  Fresh fresh fresh is Mexico. A cornucopia of delicious foods. There is nothing You cannot buy in Mexico.


Sombreros no. absolutely not . I have never seen one in Mexico except in the tourist shops. The most interesting hat I ever saw and bought is a top hat in leather. It was about  30 cm high and typical  for the workers in that State. I let my son wear it to. Mexican theme party many years ago. It was stolen.  If you have it may I please he it  back?

Just make sure you stay away from the border, Gert, not a safe place to visit.

Nah not near the American border. We are in Mexico City which, although covered in pollution , is amazing. Took a side  trip to Puelbo for a wee drink and now waiting to see what interests us in the recipe thread.

The burritos I have had early in the mornings sold  by street vendors  have all been vegetarian. I know not what. Make one up.

I love that recipe Amy.

I have actually had this  or near enough to in Mexico . That is an easy recipe to do in the  Thermothingy

Can you post it on this thread  too. http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=10925.0

Thanks Amy.

I have previously posted a Mexican dip on the forum, probably not authentic but delicious.
