TEXAS THICK & SPICY TORTILLA SOUP
I came up with this after several attempts and still tweaking. Starting with a bland one I found in a cookbook and deleted and added until I got the taste and consistency I liked. Most of the ones I had tried were watery and bland. This is a hot soup. If you don't like hot and spicy, don't make it ,,, you won't like it. I'm from Texas where we like our women, chili and most everything else hot. To make it even hotter, add the whole can of Rotel and leave the Jalapeño seeds in. This will generously serve 6 people. Add garnish if you must or just pour it up and enjoy with a cool glass of iced tea or man beverage of your choice. You can use generic brands for the ingredients but if you are health conscious, check the labels for fat and cholesterol content. The generics I have looked at are usually higher in both compared to name brands.

SALBUTES, A YUCATECAN TORTILLA
Salbutes are delicious little snacks which typify Mayan and Yucatecan cooking. They can be made with a variety of toppings, I've listed the most popular ones. Salbutes can also be served as part of a luncheon menu. Before making these, note that the pickled red onions (so famous in Yucatan cooking) do require a standing time of several hours. It's best to make them a day in advance, they keep for about a week in the refrigerator. For a great casual lunch, try serving salbutes with a bowl of bean soup and a fresh fruit salad. It's a popular combination served at the Mayan Beach Garden in Yucatan where this recipe comes from.
