You must be wondering why it took me so long to post some Mexican dishes. Maybe I find it intimidating? Or perhaps, Mexican cuisine is as vast as Indian cuisine that almost different household has their own versions. Yes! Mexican cuisine isn't just tacos and burritos.

When Hexa sent me some taco seasoning, I finally decided to post some Mexican dishes starting with this recipe. If your location is available for Hexa to deliver, please order from their website.
