Introduction

This is basically the sum of its parts, but the parts are good. The only "mexican" thing about it is that it's quite good with Mexican food. It's filling and makes a terrific lunch with some rice and beans. The serving size and the amounts are for a large lunch, as a meal. The amounts listed below are to more easily upscale it to feed more people - this goes over like gangbusters at a potluck! This is basically the sum of its parts, but the parts are good.
