Mexican Madness

Mexican right at home.
Ingredients for guacamole.
In spirit of my upcoming trip to Mexico I made fajitas. Most people have made tacos and fajitas including me, however I have never made homemade tortillas or my own Mexican seasoning.  Fajitas are quite easy, I chopped the chicken and fried it up with the peppers and onions and added my Mexican seasoning at the end. The Mexican seasoning recipe was found on Pintrest, I love that website. It could occupy me for hours.

Like a pancake, but better.
I pre-made guacamole as a garnish that we could accompany our fajitas with. I started making this particular recipe from The Healthy College Cookbook I bought myself in university knowing I wouldn't have a lot of time to cook.
Guacamole.

Much like the pasta dough the tortilla dough only had a few ingredients and was easy to make.  The only time consuming part is rolling out your dough and frying up each individual tortilla. But the little amount of work I had to do paid off and was well worth the final product. 

Cooking the onions, peppers and chicken.
If you feel a little SAD cause of the winter weather and lack of sunshine make some Mexican food, turn on the white noise app with some soothing beach waves crashing and pretend your on a sandy beach drinking a margarita. Andele!

  4. I Love this blog! I also enjoy cooking and trying new recipes, but Mexican has to be one of my favourites. I'm definitely going to have to try making homemade tortillas.

  5. Yum...that looks delicious! I recently found corn flour at Freshco's (in the Mexican section) called "masa" flour for making tortillas. Corn tortilla's are perfect for papusas, my favourite El Salvadorian dish, which I have no idea how to make! Maybe you can make papusas and then tell me how to!
