Say "si!" to MexAmerica

[erinwrites]

There's a company based in my hometown called MexAmerica...they make tortillas and chips and the like. Their tortillas are good (and are available at Wegmans!), and I pretty much always buy them when I'm buying tortillas. In fact, I'm eating a fajita made with a MexAmerica tortilla right now. ;) I heard that Mighty Taco uses their tortillas, but I can't confirm that.

Anyway, MexAmerica used to sell fajita kits...just tortillas and a seasoning packet...it was the best fajita seasoning in the history of packaged fajita seasoning. I don't know what it was...a sort of smoky flavor. Nothing else even comes close. (I've been using Ortega, which is okay, but...) A while back, they stopped selling it. This made me very, very sad. :(

I just sent an email to the company, but in the meantime, does anyone have a recommendation for me?

If it's a smoky peppery taste, then there's probably some chipotle in the mix... it'll definitely give things a smoky flavor. Use sparingly, though... it sneaks up on you and is surprisingly hotter than expected after a few bites.

Anyway, it's worth a try... if the Ortega stuff is just okay, start with that as a base and try adding a little chipotle and see if that helps.

Come to the West coast. That is my best recommendation. There is no better Pizza/wings than in the east coast. There is no better mexican food than in the west coast. Guaranteed. I'll give you your money back. Not the money for the airplane ticket! You nuts?! The money for the food.....


Alisa use to make fajitas (kids don't like'm) but I can't remember what kind of mix she used to use.I'll ask her when she comes home tomorrow.
