Vegetarian comida

I'm trying to eat more plant-base meals so in my search of really good recipes for mexican comida, I was very disappointed.  I found  very few. And when I did find some, they were missing flavor, that touch of my abulita. I often think of her when I cook and so if the food doesn't remind me of her, it's back to the kitchen I go.  This might be a hard concept to understand for some of you however it's what I base all food by....the feeling of my abulita's cooking.  I also believe food is medicine so I use ingredients keeping in mind what's going on with my family  energetically and physically.
 My first thing was caldo tlalpeno.  I'm excited to try it......Ingredients
8 cups water      
sprig of epazote
2 garlic clove
 1/2 onion
 salt for flavor

 Boil to make your stock.....30-45 mins. Strain everything out so you are left with is your caldo.  Then add......
  2 cups of cooked garbanzo beans
  1 marinaded chipote chile
       
   Simmer together for 30 mins. Serve with fresh cilantro,  avocado and lime.

                                                                         This was delicious, healthy and filling.
                                                                         Hope you enjoy.

  1. Being Californian of Chinese ancestry, I don't make a lot (if any) of TRUE Mexican comida but I do a lot of plant focused cooking. This year, my goal is for focus and more flavor. Let's share recipes! Tonight is Split Pea and carrot soup. :)
