  • Oh my goodness, Stephen, these look so yummy (I think I’m hnrugy). You and Art make me smile when I see the pics and read the recipes and I love the way you add your personal anecdotes and share the adaptations you make (like today w/chicken instead of pork). The enchiladas montadas look like my green ones but I usually skip the meat and just go for the beans, queso fresco or queso oaxaquef1o enchilado, onions, olives, and lettuce and top it with more salsa verde and crema mexicana. Now I’m REALLY hnrugy! And if I make them for breakfast I scramble egg (Real Egg substitute) with the onion, add cilantro and diced chiles gueritos and then layer w/the remaining items heaven! BTW, have you tried making albondigas w/ground turkey? I’ve done this for the past year and they are soooo yummy! I think you two will enjoy.Again, thanks for sharing all your wonderful recipes and passion for food I love it!
