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 />
