Mexican Food From Scratch

Since coming home from our fantastic Mexico trip, I've been wanting to make some of the delicious foods we had. We still need to set aside some time to make the chiles rellenos we made in our cooking class, but for last Sunday's dinner we opted for something maybe just a little more simple: carnitas in the crockpot, white corn tortillas, queso fresco and salsa verde.

It definitely takes longer to make tortillas, cheese and salsa from scratch than to buy it premade, of course, but it's SO worth the time and effort. After making the tortillas, I declared I'll never use store-bought tortillas again.

Because there were so many steps for each of these foods, I figured they each deserved their own blog post, complete with lots of pictures. So visit the individual webpages for the carnitas in the crockpot, white corn tortillas, queso fresco and salsa verde.
