This is a traditional recipe from the central part of Mexico and usually eaten on the weekends. While slightly spicy, this is a recipe that nobody can resist. I'm sure you'll love it! —Rodrigo Salas

I HATE recipes that require using a packaged mix such as this recipe does. There should be a corresponding recipe for the prepackaged mix, so that those who would not have access to the package mix can still make the recipe. I guess this recipe was really just to PROMOTE this product. So glad it appears no one has bothered with it.
