    I love all types of Mexican food, but tacos are my first choice on any Mexican menu. Tacos are so versatile you can filled them with anything, seafood, chicken, vegetables, pork, beef, beans or eggs. I am not an expert preparing the delicious food of this country, but I surely enjoy cooking it.

    These salmon tacos are simple and really good! They make the perfect lunch. Serve with tomatillo sauce or red salsa.

    What is your favorite Mexican dish?

      I really prefer the fish (salmon) filling because it such a light fresh taste as compared to long slow cooking of the meats.
