So here are the ingredients you will need:

  • Vegetable oil
  • Corn tortillas
  • Refried beans (canned or in a pouch and ready to heat)
  • Belizean Hot Pepper Onion Sauce (consists of onion, habanero pepper, whole allspice, cilantro, water, salt, and vinegar!)
  • Cooked shredded chicken (optional)
  • Shredded Edam or Gouda cheese

About Me

Hi I’m Grace! I'm married and a mom to my fur baby, Toby, and food and travel are two of my greatest passions! Since our bank account does not allow us to travel or eat out as much as we'd like, I decided I would cook delicious meals that could give us a taste of all the places we'd like to go. My goal is to get you in the kitchen, and inspire you to cook and taste delightful meals that will transport you too. Let’s throw some actual travel in from time to time, all with an emphasis on keeping your wallet full and happy as well. Let’s get cooking and let’s start exploring!! I'm excited to be on this journey with you!!

By the way most of these recipes are Toby taste tested and Toby approved!!
