Simple and Full of Flavor

When I think of Mexican food, I am reminded of my recent motorcycle trip to my mom’s house in Mexico. I rode for 50 days down our East Coast, around the Yucatan through Chiapas and up the West Coast of Mexico. After more than 5000 miles and too many meals at other people’s restaurants, I was glad to reach my mother’s kitchen on Lake Chipala where I made this meal. I started with fresh salsa to snack on while the main dish was made, and a margarita to enjoy throughout. The simple shrimp quesadilla finished the meal. Ease of preparation, minimum effort and fresh flavor are the best parts of Mexican food.
The festive colors of this dish will make any holiday table sparkle. As with many Mexican dishes, don’t worry about precise measurements. Taste often and trust your instincts.
Remember the margarita; it will warm your toes on wintry New England nights!
