The minute you lay a tortilla with sauce on the hot pan the smell explodes through the house and had everyone knocking at the door for a plate .

What would you do with the $25,000?

Those 25,000 would help me put myself and my dreams first for once . I’ve only dreamt of being able to expand and explore my knowledge in the kitchen. It’s my passion my dream it makes me feel like even though I’m a mom and care taker I’m not just that . My food truck doesn’t just have to be a dream I want to be able to cook for those who can’t I want to be able to touch hearts and core memories after a bite of my food . I want for people to feel nostalgic.I w
