Impromtu Lunch Date...

My sister called this morning to find out if we wanted to meet for lunch.  She and her husband have a vacation home "up north" on a lake and sometimes when they are traveling north they call us to meet them for lunch.  We always go to one of my favorite places in town - a little Mexican joint called "El Charritos".

This place has a salad that is AWESOME...   it is called a Tapopo Salad and it is a layer of homemade tortilla chips topped with refried beans and guacamole, then on top of THAT is a mix of shredded lettuce, chopped tomatos, green peas, shredded chicken, shredded cheese, and a red wine vinegar dressing - parmesan cheese is then sprinkled over the top.  Yeah, it is the salad that dreams are made of...

A small Tapopo is enough to feed an army and a large could likely feed the entire population of the Yukatan Peninsula.  All the while, they are playing authentic Mexican music over the stereo system and some of the songs I recognize from Zumba Class...  There is nothing like thinking of excercise class while you are filling your face.

One of our "Tapopo" traditions is to take a picture of the salad and send it to my other sister who lives in Chicago...  You see, she has come to love this salad as much as WE do and I know it does her heart good to know that we are enjoying that which she is geographically deprived of.
