Let's Make It!: A Mexican-American Culinary Adventure
The key to cooking like Freddsters is adding a squeeze of lime and a whole lot of heart. So, grab an apron and let’s make it!
Alfredo Garcia (better known as social media sensation Freddsters) is a first-generation Mexican American, born in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and raised in Chicago. His vivacious and loveable personality comes across in his viral content, where he explores the ways in which his American upbringing and his Mexican heritage blend in the kitchen.
Let’s Make It reflects these dual influences on his cooking, with Mexican-inspired versions of American classics and modern twists on traditional dishes. You’ll learn how to master authentic Mexican staples, like homemade tortillas and perfectly cooked frijoles, and use those foundations to create over 100 fusion masterpieces. Think Jalapeno Popper Tacos, Chori-queso Baked Spaghetti, and Poblano Caesar Salad.
Whether you’re looking for a fresh twist on tres leches cake (try a bit of matcha powder!) or the most delectable pico de gallo to bring to the carne asada, Let’s Make It has got you covered.

More like 2.75.
I open the book that I got on sale and go to the first recipe and it’s flour tortillas. Okay I can dig it. The problem is I the immediately had to go to Instagram to verify the recipe. That’s the first recipe in the book.
The recipe does not include the water until you are actually making the tortillas and even then there isn’t the complete amount. So it says you will start with your first 3/4 cup of boiling water. Fine I can dig it but then I am reading and re reading and where is the second or remainder? If you have a first then there has to be a second right? No.
I went on the Instagram and the guy says he never needs more than that. Which is fine but why isn’t it in the ingredient list? Why didn’t he put the directions on if it’s too dry add tsp by tsp after? I was thinking maybe you add 1/4 or something later or what not but no.
If we are starting there it tell me that the ingredient list is questionable and I have to then read all the directions in order to prep all my ingredients. Which I get is good to do. HOWEVER if I am grocery shopping and need something specific and it happens to be not water… how am I to know? The list of the ingredients and amounts is vital and allows people to quickly prep things. If I have to read the recipe in its entirety with directions and all to get a full ingredient list is ridiculous and lost 2 stars for that alone
