Beef Barbacoa torta recipeHappy National Hispanic Heritage Month from Mommy Powers Mixed Blessings and Rumba MeatsNational Hispanic Heritage Month is celebrated in the US, from September 15th to October 15th. During this time, we recognize the contributions Hispanic and Latino Americans have made, and the impact they’ve had on our lives. 

Growing up, my Mom never missed an opportunity to remind me that I was half Mexican-American. (Yes, I’m biracial.) She loved taking me to Mexican restaurants, and telling me stories about my great grandmother teaching her how to cook. My Mother instilled in me a love of all things Mexican. I’m forever grateful to her for teaching me about my roots. 
 
To celebrate our Hispanic Heritage; I’m sharing a delicious recipe with all of you. As with many of my Mexican food recipes, I rely on Rumba Meats to provide me with the special cuts of meat I need in order to prepare them. Now that I can order Rumba Meats  on Amazon, we’re enjoying eating our favorite traditional Mexican meals more frequently.
