  • This poor man's meal is something I grew up eating. It is budget-friendly and is a great way to stretch simple ingredients to feed a family. This soupy Mexican red rice recipe and crispy cheese quesadillas are an easy dinner idea. You can call this a struggle meal, but I call it good eats!

    I love the chicken tacos and sopita combo.
    That was my childhood... We are a big family and that meal fed us (or a very hungry army!)
    We didn't have much growing up but thank God and my parents that we always had food on the table.
    I still make chicken tacos and sopita.
    That or a good tinga always hit the spot!

    I received your book today . I am so happy and honored to have it. I also made the tuna you love to eat once a week( for the 3rd time) The first time it was just like you made it , The 2nd time had no ripe Avocados( still ok), & today had no Cucumber but substituted tomatoes ( pretty good too) I am hooked. I am going to make a printed copy of that and many more of your recipes to put in your book.Thanks!
