¡Viva Mexico!

This past Saturday we took a super fun Mexican dinner cooking class with Aurora's Mexican Kitchen. We learned how to prepare an entire meal including Mexican rice, nopal salad and marinated fish wrapped in banana leaves.  Everything was insanely good.  really good.  

We went out into the yard to pick nopal cactus leaves for our salad

Learning about the chili's- if the stem is on the outside, it is usually a hot one

Lots of chili's for the adobe sauce 

You don't eat any of the leaves they just make it all taste good!
