Who doesn’t love the combination of flavors from corn, avocados, tomatoes and cheese. South of the border flavorings are invigorating!   Think of the wonderful cuisine that we enjoy from Mexico.  If you travel further south to Brazil, flavors become a fusion with European origins.  A friend from college taught me a simple but delightful dish that is such a great example of a culinary fusion.  She was well-traveled and the dish originated in southern Mexico.  We call it “Soft Tacos de Verduras.”   In a pot, with a 1/2 stick of butter, sauté peeled and sliced carrots until tender.  Add sliced yellow squash (one per person).  Add sliced mushrooms.  Serve the fusion on tortillas topped with cheese, sour cream and diced tomatoes.  It is so simple and so delicious! © Kelly McBride Loft
