Mexican food is one of my favorite things. I love the complex flavors, the spice, the heat. About a year ago I decided to go Paleo and thought I would have to say goodbye to my favorite food. But, whit a little imagination and actually letting go of my "Mexican" food rules, I was able to bring those flavors to my table.
Here is what is going on tonight's plate.
