This recipe was also found on Naturally Ella, however I think it might be originally Erin Alderson’s recipe ( should go back and read the post again…

These were awesome! You can probably change around whatever you like, it’s pretty basic and amazing (and messy to eat!) we added a few things like chopped avocado and chipotle aoli (bought, not made). We spent the evening before making this collecting awesome locally made organic ingredients (with a few exceptions)

Anything with chipotle get’s me thinking texmex, then the daydreaming starts..Texas…which then always leads to  New Mexico and dream catchers. I’ve been wanting to do a road trip in the southern states for a while now. We’ve talked about making plans and even looked up a few different routes. We have yet to actually make any serious plans…things just keep coming up. Toronto isn’t exactly close (lol). Hopefully we will….
