This morning, I was out the door early to get some fresh tortillas. I came in and threw chicken into the crockpot and drowned it in a bottle of Herdez-brand salsa verde, which has been a staple for me in my Mexico homes since Maz. It’s the commercial brand with the more natural ingredients and it has just enough heat to be enjoyable.<\/p>\n
3:00 PM rolled around and the chicken was finally ready to be shredded and enjoyed on some tortillas, topped with more salsa verde, Herdez-brand guacamole, some pickled jalape\u00f1os, and just a hint of crema.<\/p>\n
The tortillas were cold by this point, of course, so I turned on a burner and got to work heating and charring a few over an open flame (one of two acceptable ways of reheating tortillas, the other being in a comal) when my day took quite a comedic turn…<\/p>\n
With a couple of indignant squeaks a whole family of geckos raced across the back of my stove, right under the grills and over the burners, before disappearing!<\/p>\n
I made a mental note to clean my stove grills the next time I reheat tortillas, just in case, and then tucked into my delicious tacos. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
