You have to make corn tortillas and or chips to get s full grasp on what you are eating.
It takes one corn tortilla to make four tortilla chips.
You are at the Mexican restaurant and any good one they are unlimited with all the salsa you can eat.
A serving is about ten chips or 2-1/2 tortillas.
The calories are around 140 calories from fat about 60.
Carbohydrates about 19 grams.

A normal Aztec or Zapotec meal will consist of two to three tortillas with some chili peppers and a bit of meat vegetables or egg in them.


The original enchilada was not a Texas TX-Mex invention contrary to popular belief.
It was a simple corn tortilla rolled up and dipped in chili sauce/salsa.

Americans notably like things jumbo sized the more and bigger the better.

This is our downfall not so much as the food we eat, (Not including processed food).

Today's lunch.
Two little cornbread muffins with chilies in them and one cup of chili beans.
Always water.
