Growing up in California, I had Mexican food all the time, and LOVED it! Mexican, Tex-Mex, fast food, fancy Mexican restaurants, I had them all, sometimes multiple times every week.
When we moved to Australia, we realised quickly that I would not be able to get my fix here. We tried every Mexican food place we could find, but none of them were quite right. We finally found our place in St Kilda, but as food is quite a bit more expensive here than in California, we only go as a special treat, less than once a week.
So instead, we have make-your-own-tostada nights at our house at least once a week. It’s never anything fancy, just some meat, Mexe beans, lettuce, tomato and cheese. LoML has to fry the corn tortillas up ‘cause I’m always afraid the oil will pop and burn me. I’m a wuss.
