About the Recipe
This soup is a dish that mom would make for my siblings and I. The only difference is that back in my country we did not always have a blender so my mom would be forced to blend the ingredients by hand. Mushing with her hands and a molcajete. My mom always made it possible for my siblings and I to eat. Even if it was something as simple as tortillas with beans and cheese. This dish even though very popular and common in my country, is very personal to me.
