3.

In between doing the gazillion loads of laundry that have somehow accumulated over the last few days (seriously, how many socks can one wear over a weekend???) I managed to whip up a tasty tidbit for lunch and thought I'd share.

1. To start things off, I dug out some corn tortillas and tossed them on a cast-iron comal. For anyone who isn't familiar with a comal, it is a flat griddle used to cook tortillas. All you have to do is let it heat up, chuck on a tortilla, flip it a few times, burn your fingers once, and walah! you've got the base for any number of delicious meals (quesadillas, burritos, soft tacos, etc.)

2. Since I am fairly impatient, I like to nibble on a little something something while cooking. We usually have queso fresco lying around so if you break off a few wedges, pop them in a warm tortilla, it is so absolutely perfect.

3. Here it is, the grand poobah: leftover bow-tie pasta reheated in a bowl with potato quarters, spanish rice, cooked/diced green beans, steamed spinach, parmesan cheese, and crushed red peppers. It was a tasty way to clear out all those leftovers from the fridge and hunker down for my noontime telenovela.

Until next time, até logo!
