Food was a major part of our trip to Mexico. It was one thing we were really looking forward to. Chayo's family was also very understanding about my lack of handling anything too spicy. We enjoyed some enchiladas (I believe) from this kind lady below. It was ten o'clock at night and she still had people coming to her garage to buy her food. It was delicious.
Chayo's mom here is cooking one of my favorite dishes - mole. It was so delicious. With her homemade tortillas (see previous post) food does not get much better.
Tamales are also a favorite of mine and we got to help build the 120 yummy treats. Here you can see the masa being spread onto a corn husk.
Then the meat was put in. Chayo's mom likes more masa so fewer meat. When Chayo took over the tamales were getting a bit more meat. After the meat they fold and get it ready for the steamer.
Dale even got put to work. It took some time and a few giggles, but he eventually got faster and they looked a little bit more like Chayo's.
Dale spent a lot of time with Chayo's dad watching one of the pots filled with tamales as they steamed.
A great place to visit with friends and eat some wonderful food.
