BEEF, BEAN AND GUACAMOLE TOSTADA

DINNER AT HOME

These homemade Tostadas were better than any Mexican restaurant in Hawaii and one of the best I have ever tasted.  The layers of flavors and textures made each bite a delicious explosion.  Started with a fried Ala Madre Low Carb Tortilla and then added a layer of 

Spicy Refried Beans with sautéed Onions and Jalapeños.  Then came the Taco Beef with sautéed Onions and Jalapeños.  Next up was some Hot Sauce and then a layer of Guacamole, Lettuce, Cheese, Pico de Gallo and Cotija Cheese.  These were beyond good.  

They were delicious!

These Beef, Bean and Avocado Tostadas were some of the best I have ever eaten in my life. Yes that good.  Low carb too with A La Madre low carb Corn Tortillas.  So good we ate these two nights in a row.

APOLO RESTAURANT - MADEIRA, PORTUGAL

APOLO RESTAURANT

MADEIRA, PORTUGAL 

After a tour and lots of walking we ended up in the town square next to a small church.  A local girl was playing the piano and singing in the square.  The sound was magical and very good.  We picked the Apolo for lunch because it looked clean and had a great outdoor patio with lots of locals dining.  We wanted to sample the local fish and then saw a dish with fresh sardines.  We ordered the fish, sardines and a beef dish.  The sardines were out of this world good.  So light and fresh.  Filled with flavor but not fishy.  We all loved them and craved them from this moment forward.  The fish was just o.k. and the meat dish was pretty terrible.  Give me the sardines with a nice local red wine and I am a happy camper.  What a great afternoon in Madeira.
