Fish Tacos

Thank you to Señor Hans from SF, guest chef, he is my brother-in-law with a master's hand in cooking. Oh how I wished I could have had one of these plates! He cooked up these awesome fish tacos which my sister Moni photographed and ate! Thanks Moni for being the "helper".

Look who is cooking with us...

Check it out friends, the Moni-Roni is cooking it up! She has put a twist to our Machaca and I give it a "Here's to Some Good Food" thumbs up.


Machaca de Carnitas!!!
Follow the Machaca recipe but use pork instead!


Here is what she said:
I made my Machaca with Carnitas!!! Not as much egg in it because I don't like the taste of eggs too much (like mom) and I looooove to add cilantro as a topper because its my favorite ingredient to use on everything!!!!

Here's to some good food.
