The important thing about cooking vegetarian-vegan food inspired by "South of the border" is that all the vegetables are as fresh as possible, and the fruits MUST be ripe.
This is why I have purchased some of my ingredients a day earlier than usual..to allow everything to ripen well.

Even though the corn soup is made with avocado and is blended the avocado has to be ripe to give it's good deep flavor, the same is with all the fruits in the fresh fruit salad and also the pineapple-avocado salad.
I still have more items to shop for but will do that tonight, I am picking up the plantains almost ripe..again to allow them to sweeten up  for a few days.

On the day of delivery most things will be cooked that morning ( a reason I will be up at 4am!) so they can be delivered really fresh and tasting wonderful.

Some of the dishes ARE spicy but many are not and I am using cojita..mild fresh cheese for the tacos; and jicama in the fruit salad for added texture.

Along  with the fillings there is also going to be, steamed long grain brown rice and 2 spicy  salsas a green tomatillo and a own grown tomato-cilantro.
with plenty of fresh limes to squeeze on on service
