Authentic Mexican Food


Aaron made us an Authentic Mexican meal. I helped him out and it was a lot of fun. We went to the mexican market and bought the supplies. Then we got busy and Aaron created a wonderful meal. We pollo empanda, rice, beans, tortillas and horta to drink. We also had flan for desset.

Oh and onions. They are mexican onions. There like green onions only biffer and a milder flavor.


I was the assistant and Aaron the chef. It was a fun night.


Sammy helped out and Aaron put in charge of stiring the horta drink.
It takes like a cinnamon milky coconut water. No one loved it. Except Aaron.


Look at that yummy food.


How you eat it is you squezze lime over the chicken and cut the chicken up. You take the tortilla and spread it with refried beans and then put chicken on it fold it over and eat.

Aaron said he ate this pollo meal a lot when he lived in Mexico.

Neil was a good sport. But he wouldn't eat the beans.
If you know Neil that is not a surprise he hates beans of any kind.

Sammy was surprised the food was so bland and where is the cheese. Real mexican food is so different than the mexican restaraunts we all eat at and think are mexican food.

Thanks Aaron for giving us a taste of Mexico.

What a great idea! I'm sure Aaron had fun showing off his Mexican cooking skills to someone who appreciates the art of cooking. You must make a fabulous assistant!
