@@chino581991 hard to explain but one easy way is you can used boxed pearl milling company pancake mix and just fry the batter on a flat surface with an embarrassing amount of margin or butter. Trick is to not have it so hot that it scorches but hot enough to where you get delicious crispy browning

mexicans are the backbone of the restaurant industry in this country. they bring a very specific and honest sort of 'blue collar artistry' to food and kitchens. mexican food is the best, imo. its a shame that the border controversy has cast a negative light on all of this. the border needs to be controlled, but we also need to give respect and credit where it's due. both can happen at the same time. we are a better country because of mexican-americans.
