One of the great things about living in Houston is that it is often warm at Christmas-time. This means you have lots of choices in terms of the tasty food you can have at Christmas-time. This year I decide to make a meal with a southwest flair: Lime Cilantro Tacos and Southwest Corn Salad.

Because I have a tortilla press I decide to make fresh tortillas with masa I had on hand. Fresh tortilla, pork and corn salad made for an awesome fresh meal.
