Apparently, the wave of intense heat that hit us the previous few days is gone and now you can enjoy the “normal” warmth of summer again.
We start the week with two Carnival holidays and the almanac also highlights Wednesday,
Valentine's Day
.
Although none of these events have a special menu, the proposal is to eat light although
we are slowly incorporating slightly warmer dishes.
We decided to turn on the oven and cook some pasta to top off Sunday.
I'm sure you've made dessert at some point: pancakes with dulce de leche.
The key to success is
letting the dough rest in the refrigerator.
So that?
So that the flour is completely hydrated and a very smooth dough is left.
Even if you have returned to your work routine, enjoy the last weeks of February eating delicious and fresh food.
Don't forget to hydrate yourself with natural flavored water.
Good week for all!

Nachos are traditionally made from the same taco tortilla dough that is cut into triangles and fried.
They are made with nixtamalized corn flour, which in our country is difficult to obtain and, on top of that, is expensive.
Therefore, we are going to make a version with ingredients that are within our reach.
