I understood an identical dish of homemade goodness could be a lot fresher, and flavorful, and so i tried to recreate the recipe in your own home. Score one for that home team since the flavors explode from my Cantina Bowl like fireworks. and i believe my hubby just fell deeply in love with me once again.
