Last night after work some heavy winds came into town, bringing cold air and much lower temperatures. Walking home in the chill I decided to change my menu and made tortilla soup for dinner.
Tortilla soup is simple to make, yet Kuniko always gives it rave reviews. Luckily I had corn tortillas and cilantro stems in the freezer, cotija cheese in the fridge, and I used tofu as a meat substitute. It turned out great, and I made enough to keep us warm through Wednesday.
I’m not sure why Mexican food hasn’t caught on here in Japan, but someday I’m sure people will figure it out. Until that happens, it’s gotta be Casa de Fredricks for our south of the border cravings.
