    I love Mexican food and the flavors that they use in their cuisine are amazing to me. Tacos are such a versatile food, as you can use any kind of filling. If made right, they are absolutely delicious. For these beef tacos I used flank steak, but feel free to use your favorite kind of steak.

      OK, I now realize what I have to do. For 2 weeks I need to make nothing but Columbian food, to get caught up on on the incredible recipes you are showing me. I also need to visit Columbia and sample the delights for myself.

      Erica, I have e mailed you several times indicating how pleased I am to have found your blog. I've noticed that lately you are posting "recetas" that have been posted before and while I don't think there is nothing wrong with it, I was wondering if you were running out of recipes to share with your suscribers....If that is the case, I'd gladly send you what I have in my folders as I have been collecting recipes for the past 20 years. Of course I don't want to mass mail recipes for the sake of sending them. I have broken them down by nationality and/or type pf meal...i.e, appetizers, desserts, poultry, beef, etc.

      Dejame saber si estas interesada and if so, where should I send them...(e-mail address )

      BTW, I have several books of Recetas Colombianas and while many of them I am not familiar with, I was wondering if we could start a CCC "Cocina Colombian Club" and share them with other people. I know you have many subscribers to your blog from Colombia...perhaps we could start a dialogue... what do you think? Another topic would be the type of ingredients used in Colombia. I am planning to visit Colombia for a couple of months and would love to surprise friends and family by recreating some of your recipies...my only problem is that I am not familiar with type of seasonings and/or name of creams (heavy, whipping, etc) If you think there is merit to these ideas, let me know and I'll be glad to participate....

      Como siempre, mil y mil gracias for all you do to promote Colombia, our Cuisine and Cuture!

        Jorge- Muchas gracias por tu comentario. La verdad todas las recetas que publico cada dia son nuevas. Tengo varias recetas Colombianas para publicar pero el trabajo que tengo que hacer con cada plato que publico toma mucho tiempo por que yo tomo mis propias fotos y tengo que escribir cada post.. Pero me encanta tener nuevas alternativas. Yo te dejo saber cuando me puedes enviar algunas recetas. En mi pagina de facebook puedes empezar algun forum con ingredientes Colombianos si quieres.
        En este momento yo estoy un poco ocupada con este blog, pero estoy dispuesta a colaborar. Si tienes alguna pregunta sobre los ingredientes solo dejame un comentario y yo trato de responder lo mas pronto posible. La idea de esta pagina es ensenar a personas de todos los paises a cocinar comida Colombiana y por eso es que utilizo ingredientes que se encuentran en USA y por eso es en ingles, para el futuro quiero hacer una pagina en espanol, pero eso toma tiempo. De todas formas si quieres publicar alguna receta solo enviala a mi e-mail en la pagina y yo la hago y la publico. Gracias de nuevo por tu apoyo 🙂
