A little bit of sunshine!

After nearly one, two, three, four,.....weeks of rain, the sun decided to shine a little bit for us. Hopefully the wet season is getting to the end.

When we arrived, the weather in San Cristobal was:

 And so was the weather yesterday:

Grey skies all the time.  Anyway, after doing lots, lots of homework I decided to put my Wellies on and enjoy the wet garden:

Tortillas, the Mexican bread.

Tortillas seem to be present in every Mexican meal.  In the U.K. you can get some  in the supermarket (made in the Netherlands by the way) but the taste is absolutely different.

Tortillas have a very mild flavour and you can put nearly anything inside, cheese, meat, veggies, they had become my lunch time favourite.  You can find tortilla shops nearly in every street in this town.   I ask my mum to explain me how to make them, of course she had no clue, so we visited one of these "tortillerias" and found it out.

They had big mixing machines to make the dough basically with maize flour and water, and another machine to cut and roll the dough out into circles and "cook" them. All in one:

But that is the industrial way to make tortillas, here is a version to make them at home, you can always get the flour on line and use a rolling pin instead of a tortilla machine:

Buen provecho!!
