A Little Touch of the Hispanic Culture



Thinking back on my culture, what are two main foods that are commonly fixed in hispanic households?  I thought about it and decided to prepare some homemade nachos and quesadillas.  I went to HEB and bought some tortillas, tortilla chips, jalapeños, cheese and of course, salsa.  I went to my parents’ apartment to start this wonderful journey.  First, I started by adding all of these condiments onto the chips.  I stuck them into the oven and within minutes my first creation was complete.  The only thing that I would have done different was layer the cheese instead of putting it on top of the chips. Overall it was a lot of fun and I now know how to cook a fast and easy snack.
For part two, I decided to make some quesadillas.  I simply heated the tortillas and put cheese and green onions inside of them.  The first quesadilla I made was filled with cheese to the point where it was overflowing onto the plate.  After that, I gradually became better and had a blast cooking these meals. 
 I had a great meal and surprised myself in many ways.  I didn't know how easy it was to make those meals.  Thanks to this journey, I learned many things about cooking and now know how to make quick ad easy snacks.
