It is time.
Time for an easy dinner, a simple snack, a quick lunch.
Let’s do this.
I did.
All it takes is a tortilla, some beans, and a sprinkle of cheese. Get some oil nice and hot. Fry ’em up. Eat ’em all. You’re gonna want to. Trust me.
Grab a handful of corn chips. Spoon out some salsa and Greek yogurt. Get ready to dip dip dip.
This was the first episode of the new show that I’m doing for ifood.tv. I hope you enjoy it. More episodes to come soon!
Happy Eating!
