Mexican rollups

Mr. P cooked last night. It was Mexican night -- whole wheat tortillas, refried beans, salsa, fresh chopped tomatoes, beaten yogurt, chopped napa cabbage. The idea is to put a little of everything in your tortilla, roll it up, and not have it explode all over the table cloth. I'm learning to be less gringo, which means putting less into my tortilla. So I dripped delicately over my plate.

I can make this dish, too, and it tastes fine to me, but Mr. P grew up in West Texas and knows what it's supposed to taste like. I can tell I never quite make it to his satisfaction, though he's very polite about it. His refried beans are more delicious than mine. He also said that the salsa wasn't quite good enough, so he added a bunch of cumin and something else, maybe cracked pepper or cayenne.

There was supposed to be guacamole, but the avocado was unripe, so he's marinating it all in lime juice, kind of a guacamole ceviche. We'll probably eat that in a few more nights. Oh, and there was fresh cilantro, but he forgot to put it on the table.
