Food Traditions

In our family the most common made dish would be rice and beans with tortillas. If family was getting together, an issue that needed to be talked about, or a celebration...I was never disappointed seeing that on the table. Its a simple dish that was made every time all the time and holds multiple funny occasions and memories. It was a simple dish that brought our family and friends together to enjoy a simple meal and the taste of my grandmas famous tortillas. When she got to old to make them it almost seemed like people started to drift off and away from each other. I believe that food as simple as rice and beans can hold power since it would bring my big family together. I still have the memories; I'm a horrible cook but i still aspire to get that recipe down on how to make the beans and tortillas just like mi abuelita (grandma).
