Why did we do this?!
In the video that you are about to witness Taylor, Gabe, and I cooked really good Mexican food with fresh herbs. The reason our class grew herbs was so that we can cook more with the herbs we grow. The point of this project is to show others how they can live sustainably by growing herbs and using them in the kitchen. This assignment answers our essential questions because for one not many people like living sustainably because they are to lazy because cooking does require a good amount of time. We can convince others to be more sustainable by showing how fun and easy it is.
Quick recipe Review
The recipe that I chose to make was carne asada tacos. I'm going to write the process below that I went through to make them.
The first thing I did before making them was gathering all the ingredients which were corn tortillas, carne asada, cilantro, lemon, onions, and salt.
1. Cook the carne asada, then cut it into tiny pieces
2. Chop up onions into small squares on a cutting board
3. Rinse Cilantro, then chop the pieces so all of the leaves are bunched together and the stems are together pointing in one direction and cut the fresh cilantro from leaves to stems using a sharp knife and cut them to small pieces.
4. Get a tortilla and heat it up. When you are done heating it place it on a plate.
5. After the carne asada, onions, and cilantro are cut nicely chopped you may put all of them on top of the tortilla.
6. Pour a little salt and lemon juice to give it some flavor.
7. You are now done making your taco, you can now finally eat it, smell it, and enjoy it! :)

Reflection
By now you are probably wondering if the tacos I made were any good, well they were. I could taste each ingredient dissolving in my mouth, starting with the cilantro. The cilantro gave it a nice kick and it also gave a very nice aroma to the tacos. The next one that I enjoyed was the carne asada which I love a lot! The smell was practically begging me to eat it and it was not at all plain because the lemon and salt gave it flavor. The onions made my breath smell, but on the plus side they were amazing. And of course my meal wouldn't have been a taco with out the yummy corn tortilla. This experience has made me appreciate growing more herbs because the taste so fresh and its pretty easy. I'm definitely going to continue growing herbs and using them in the kitchen.
Thanks Rubios!
