“It’s full of rich flavors that are as diverse as the country itself,” said Orozco-Moore in an interview with National Geographic. Based in Oklahoma City, Orozco-Moore is a first-generation Mexican-American and grew up eating authentic home-cooked Mexican meals every day.

One of her fondest memories is of her mother’s enchiladas: “My mom’s red enchiladas will always have a special place in my heart,” she gushed.

She explained that the sauce is made with a blend of guajillo, ancho and arbol chilies, and a small piece of Mexican chocolate. “No fancy stuffing either,” she says, “just a handful of Mexican cheese and diced onions.”

Fully committed to the Mexican kitchen, Orozco-Moore shares her recipes with a growing number of followers online, bridging the gap between Mexican and American food cultures. Some recent recipes on her blog, Isabel Eats, include Mexican stuffed peppers and a healthy avocado salad.

Moreover, her Instagram page—filled with recipes, videos, and appetizing photos—has got us drooling!

“The history of glazed ceramics goes back to the colonial times. Bishop Quiroga, fondly known to the locals as Tata Vasco, or grandfather Vasco, brought the art of glazing pottery from the old world back in the early 1500s. Tzintzuntzán, the ancient capital of the Purepecha culture, was the original ceramics center, which spread throughout Michoacán. The Sierra Volcanica, famous as the home of the Monarch butterflies, is still today the home of the Purepecha people,” Vallarta Tribune writes.
