Chocolate Azteca
I am so proud of my Mexican Heritage. I was born in the United States but raised with very traditional Mexican traditions, ideas and customs. One of those being… THE FOOD! There is nothing in the world I enjoy more than good, authentic Mexican food. With that said a lot of the foods I grew up eating and love make me very sick because of my food sensitivities and stomach problems. I am always looking and searching for ways to recreate these dishes with compromising flavors and traditions. Mexican hot chocolate is a favorite in our home. You will NEVER know there is no dairy in this drink. It is rich and thick, spicy and just flat out perfect!
