We purchased this book more than 20 years ago, when we lived in Tucson -- where these things are decided. We do not traffic in "wraps" -- just tortillas. As hard as decent tortillas are to find in New England, this book allows us to put them to good use when we do.
Many of the recipes in this book have become comfort food in our home, but we still open it to a new page fairly often. Anyone who loves to cook will find plenty to enjoy in this book. On our recipe blog, we probably cite this book more than any other -- http://nuevareceta.blogspot.com/searc...
Gosh I enjoy reading this and pick it up from time to time, but sadly to say I have never tried any of the recipes. This is certainly a fault of the reader and not the book. The recipes are indeed inviting.
My sister gave me this book several years ago And I still use it regularly !!!!!! I LOVE these recipes : ) I remember Eating at their restaurant in High School and Collage. I don't know if it is still around since I no longer live in the area. If anyone knows if it is I would love to go with them.
This has been one of my favorite cookbooks for years. Dozens of pages tagged with post-it notes. Now I'm looking for it as an epub for easy searching and for when traveling.
The tortilla is a staple of the Mexican diet and can be used in many ways. This book contains recipes for a variety of foods that can fill a tortilla including some desserts.
