We had planned to go out to our favorite Mexican restaurant but mother nature decided to drop a foot and a half of snow on us with blowing winds and the roads were a bit treacherous so we stayed home. I was really craving something Mexican so I looked through my pantry and came up with this recipe. It was delicious. Get for a cold wintery day like today.
