Mexican food is one of my favorites and I’m surprised I have more cookie recipes on my blog than I do Mexican food recipes! We eat Mexican food at least once a week for dinner and then I eat it three times a week for lunch.
I will whip up a batch of my favorite vegan queso and use that all week. These Portobello Fajitas are so delicious and are a great way to incorporate more mushrooms into your diet.
