I spent most of the afternoon cooking today. I love Mexican food and I don't mean the Tex Mex stuff you get here in the US but real, authentic Mexican food. My actual favorite Hispanic restaurant is actually a family from Honduras. The have a stewed pork dish that is to die for. I took a dive at it today and made a really fantastic Mexican dinner if I say so myself. Everything came out absolutely perfect.

The menu today is:

Guisado de Puerco con Tomatillos (Stewed Pork)
Arroz Amarillo (Mexican Rice)
Re-fried Beans with Havarti cheese
A Spicy Jicima/Apple/Cantaloupe/Orange salad

That looks really nice Steve..

Do you make tortillas too?

I've got meatloaf in the oven for dinner tonight.

Those plates look like something you see on IRON CHEF
Looking good there. Can you pipe in the smell thru the computer? LOL
 
Allie, I do make tortillas but that is something that I am not very good at yet. It looks so easy but in reality, it is pretty tough. It is really hard to get them thin enough to remain flexible. I always think I have them thin enough and when I cook them they are still too thick and they split when I fold them.
 
Have never tried to make tortillas myself.. but did a decent job of some naan bread once..My family is partial to indian and thai style for special occasions.

hubby is on a mission to get a 6 pack for his 45th birthday in september, so everything is chicken/fish/steak and salads at the moment.(the kids ate the meatloaf though)

My wife has a Spanish friend who has taught her the way to raelly make Spanish rice and it requires a special pan which is cheap but it really makes a huge difference and she has it down now. Yumm! Steve that looks really good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
