Foods Packed with cheesy, spicy deliciousness these bacon wrapped stuffed poblanos will be your new favorite Mexican themed treat!
I love Mexican food. I love it so much, my husband and I had our post-wedding dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant (we had a small wedding with just family there). #TrueStory
A girl who chooses to have her post-wedding dinner at a Mexican restaurant and celebrate nearly every birthday in recent memory at said Mexican restaurant, knows her Mexican food. I’ve also brainwashed convinced my kids that Mexican food is the best!
But the problem with going out for Mexican is the all-you-can-eat chip and salsa buffet sitting in front of my face! Alas, I do not have much self-control when it comes to the chips and salsa.
That’s one reason why it’s so much better for me to make my own foods with a Mexican flair, in my home, where I don’t have to deal with all the darn chips tempting me (not to mention the corn tortillas in my beloved enchiladas or delicious tamales!).
