will never forget the aroma of my Grandma
Gracia’s kitchen growing up and what a won-
I derful cook she was. She made seasoned fideo
as a side, with ground beef as a meal or with chick-
en she boiled all day as a soup. My recipe has wild
rooter meat with a spice blend I made years ago in
her memory called Southwestern Sizzler. It’s great in
fideo, beans, rice, taco meat or any recipe that calls
for chilli powder.
