A Mexican diet relies on staples of beans, rice, corn tortillas, chilli and fresh fruits. Tacos, fajitas, empanadas and quesadillas are a popular menu choice.
The Quesadilla is basically a Mexican style toastie made with 2 tortillas sandwiched together with filling of choice. Warmed through and served with guacamole and sour cream, it makes a delicious, light meal. Teamed with a margarita or 3 and you are in for a delightful time.
