After coming to US, I had a strong aversion to Tex-Mex and Mexican food, mainly because of the use of Beans in many dishes. I slowly started liking it after having Chicken Chalupas and Quesadillas which luckily had no beans. If you have a few ingredients like Cooked Chicken Breasts or Sausages, you can easily [...]
