I can eat these all by themselves they are so good. So in honor of those found memories a related poem, now off to make some breakfast tacos. COMIDA uno se come la luna en la tortilla comes frijol y comes tierra comes chile y comes sol y fuego bebes agua y bebes cielo. One eats the moon in a tortilla eat frijoles and you eat earth eat chile and you eat sun and fire drink water and you drink sky FOOD - Victor Valle
