Recipe - Carne Asada with Entomatadas Verdes
Carne Asada with Entomatadas Verdes
We love marinated meats in our house, I like to marinate things in advance then freeze them to prepare for quick meals later. This is one version of Carne Asada - Mexican style marinated skirt steak. I like to serve this version with Entomatadas Verdes, which is basically corn tortillas covered in Queso Fresco, fresh onion slices and a tomatillo sauce. Tomatillos are similar to green tomatoes, but not as sour. Tomatillos melt well when cooked and are also the base for Chile Verde.

Review - La Carta de Oaxaca
Food: 
Ambiance: 
Service:
One of my favorite things to do with my SO on a weekend afternoon is to have lunch and wander through one of the many small Seattle neighborhoods. It was freezing cold out, and starting to snow, so we decided to stay close to home.
La Carta de Oaxaca is a small Oaxacan restaurant nestled along Ballard Ave, there's usually a crowd and often a wait. Unless of course you go within 30-45 minutes of opening, or later in the evening. They do not take reservations, so we usually go with a backup plan, if we aren't patient enough to wait for a table. If we do end up waiting for a table there are a bunch of fun stores nearby to browse.
