    Someone gave me a large bag of large beefsteak tomatoes today. They are very ripe and need to be eaten soon. I wanted something different to stretch them out and found this recipe. I made it today and it turned out perfectly. I just need to practice my slicing and dicing. But it was easy to make and was delicious.

    Pati,

    In this episode, what was in the skillet the chef put in the fire wood oven and you later dipped a piece of bread in?

    Thanks,

    Noe

      Hi Noe, thanks for your question? In the first skillet Chef Javier Plascencia put Baja Olive Oil, Lemon, Fresh Garlic, Rosemary, Thyme and Chile the Arbol to make the sauce for the snapper, this is the one I dipped my bread into. In the second one, he had again olive oil, cherry tomatoes and more Chile de Arbol. Thanks for tuning in!

    YUM! Perfect! I’m going to make this and your sopes for a simple (yet fun) Cinco de Mayo. I’ve never made tortillas by hand so this will be fun. I don’t have a press yet so will roll out by hand. Oh do you have a recommendation for a tortilla press?

      Hi Terri, great choices for Cinco de Mayo! I don’t have any preferred brand of tortilla press, but I will recommend that you get the bigger one, maybe 10″ so you can use it to make tortillas, empanadas and many other things 😉
