Rice & dumplings.

Chicken & cilantro dumplings, served with white rice and a cilantro pesto. For the pesto, I used blanched almonds rather than pine nuts, and obviously cilantro in place of basil. I didn't love it, but it was good with the rice and I think it complemented the dumplings (which were delicious) well.

Tamales.

Upon returning home from my trip to San Francisco, my first stop was El Pollo Loco, definitely on my Top 3 Favorite Fast Food Places list. Thanks, Mom & Dad!!

Topped with spicy avocado sauce and cilantro, served with rice and pinto beans.
