I have thought of more!

Belizean cheese dip (the life of the party)

Ingredients:
1 lb happy cow cheese, cubed

1 can salsa mexicana casera
1 can evaporated milk
A handful of fresh cilantro

Directions:
Start off by chopping up the cheese, and putting it into a blender. Start the blending process and slowly add the salsa and milk. Microwave in a microwavable bowl for a 1-2 minutes. Now put back in the blender, add the cilantro. The final product should be smooth and creamy.
Serve with corn tortilla chips and enjoy. If you can’t find fresh chips, Tostitos does the trick.

Not my picture, but tasty!

Sopa de Tortilla (how to be resourceful)
This is a simple recipe designed for using up hard corn tortillas.

Onion
Garlic
Tomato
Water
Hard tortillas, torn up
Beans (and their water)

Fry up some onion, tomatoes, garlic and habenero (if you're feeling adventurous) in a pot. When tender, add water. Boil. Then add the torn up tortillas until the consistency become like a thick paste or a mash. Serve with beans and their water, like a soup!

Also not my picture, but a good illustration of a tortilla

 Chaya (healthy, but be careful!)
Fun fact about chaya: it is poisonous raw!The leaf has cyanogenic glucosides that can be removed through boiling (10-15 minutes), steaming (same time), frying (at least five minutes) or microwaving (at least 10 minutes). You can add it to casseroles like spinach too. It tastes similar to any dark leafy green (spinach, kale, collard greens etc). My favorite way to eat it is by frying. First, you fry your onion in oil until tender. Then add the washed, chopped chaya and cook at least 5 minutes (I do more like 10 or 15 minutes!). Add a little salt and voila! You have a perfect side dish.

Nope, not mine. Thank you, Google Images!
