Quick and Easy Latin-American Recipes

The first thing we ever do when we travel to new places is to satisfy one of our pleasures in life: Eating! Most people love eating and consider it something very special. Even if we are in our own countries, today it is very common to find exotic restaurants, or restaurants from different parts of the world offering new flavors and dishes.

 

In Latin American countries, food is not only about giving energy to our body and feeding, but also, it is a very important moment to gather with the family and communicating, laughing, enjoying some time together. In some countries, the most important meal of the day is at midday, lunchtime; while in other countries, it is dinner. Here is something from Central America you’ve probably heard about:

 


Tacos!

 

2 halves of yellow onion and 1 minced white onion
1 cup of chopped cilantro leaves
2 green chiles
4 limes

2 two halves of tomatillos
2 pounds of chicken breasts in pieces
1 batch of pickled red onion
Salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1 sliced avocado
½ cup of grated cheese
