Mother's Day Taquiza

Yesterday a bunch of us got together at Francisco and Gaby's house for a TAQUIZA (hint: comes from word "TACO"). But first someone has got to hold Gaby's sleeping baby.

And NO, the one holding isn't wishing for another one!



Pico de gallo to go with the tacos: tomatoes, chiles, onions, avocado - it was delicious!

Fried pig skins are a must. At the right you can see the Cowboy Beans, which were yummy!

Prepare the meat for grilling. Lemon and garlic salt over each piece. Unlike our "gringo" counterparts, we here in Mexico use very thin meat, grill, stick in a tortilla, a little salsa or pico de gallo, maybe some grilled nopal (you can see it here in the dish waiting to be grilled) and EAT!

And Adrian, Julio and Francisco get to work grilling! What fun they had - or at least it appeared that way! And quite a few of those pieces of meat they grilled never got onto the plates! Don't know what happened to them!
