Hello everyone,

This is my second time entering a contest on Steemit and I was so excited to run across this challenge since I LOVE Mexican food!! That gave me a great excuse to eat today a new Mexican dish I made for this challenge, so thank you Hive account@woman-onthe-wing for that great opportunity :)
It tasted great; I hope it meets the challenge here as I’ve already seen entries of some amazing Mexican dishes!

My entry for today’s Culinary challenge is:
