Social studies<br />

The recipe of Mexico that I decide to make<br />

was “enchiladas verdes” because it is a<br />

very simple recipe to make and because it<br />

was a recipe that my grandma told me, so<br />

I decide to make one of my favorite<br />

Mexican food. When I was going to make<br />

the recipe, my mom takes me to the<br />

supermarket and we spent some time<br />

together and I really like it, and when I<br />

was make them I really have a lot of fun<br />

with my sister.<br />
