Cuentos are stories, legends and myths, the type for which Aesop is renown. Many cuentos are replete with the wisdom of the ages expressed in simplistic terms even a child can easily comprehend. They offer words to live by&#8211;and if they don&#8217;t impart a valuable lesson, they are unfailingly entertaining.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\"><em><a title=\"The Day It Snowed Tortillas\" href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Tortillas-Nevaron-Folktales-Spanish-English\/dp\/0938317768\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Day It Snowed Tortillas<\/a><\/em> is not only the name of the aforetold cuento, it is the name of master storyteller Joe Hayes&#8217; signature book. \u00a0Hayes specializes in folk tales from many cultures and has kept children and adults alike spellbound with his animated telling of cuentos, the tales of Hispanic New Mexicans. \u00a0He is one of America&#8217;s premier storytellers in both Spanish and English.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">In 2005, it snowed tortillas throughout the United States&#8211;and not just figuratively. \u00a0According to the Tortilla Industry Association, during that year, tortilla sales in the United States totaled more than $6 billion, more than doubling their sales from the previous decade ($2 billion in 1994). \u00a0Because of their versatility and deliciousness, tortillas have become so mainstream that the combined sales in the retail and food service industries are closing in rapidly on white bread. Bread, as a whole is on a decline, while the popularity of tortillas continues on the ascend. <\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5229\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5229\" style=\"width: 444px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5229 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 444px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 444\/333;margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/AbqTortilla03.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"Carne Adovada Burrito with red chile and Chicharron Burrito with green chile\" width=\"444\" height=\"333\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/AbqTortilla03.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 444w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/AbqTortilla03-300x225.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/AbqTortilla03.jpg?size=128x96&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/09\/AbqTortilla03.jpg?size=384x288&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 384w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5229\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Carne Adovada Burrito with red chile and Chicharron Burrito with green chile<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">Flour tortillas have become one of the most successful and popular products in the baking industry. \u00a0They have survived negative dietary trends and their growth in popularity shows no surcease, thanks in large measure to their versatility. \u00a0They&#8217;re not just for burritos, quesadillas and tacos any more.

font-family: Verdana;\">Burritos are a perfect vehicle for the company&#8217;s tortillas and like the restaurant&#8217;s stuffed sopaipillas can be stuffed in a variety of ways: carne adovada, chicken, beef, beef and bean, bean, shredded beef, shredded beef and bean, carnitas and smothered with chile. \u00a0Also similar to other plates, portions are profuse. \u00a0Each burrito plate comes with two burritos as well as beans and rice. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;\">The <em>carne adovada burrito<\/em> smothered in red chile is a stand-out. \u00a0The pork is tender and delicious, shredded instead of cubed so that the red chile marinade is better disseminated. \u00a0The <em>chicharron burrito<\/em> is equally impressive with chicharrones that are cut small and as devoid of fat as any chicharrones you&#8217;ll find anywhere. \u00a0There are also more chicharrones per burrito than any other in town. \u00a0Smother this one with green chile for a taste adventure to be cherished. \u00a0The beans are refried, but surprisingly moist considering so many of the ilk are as desiccated as the desert. \u00a0The rice is somewhat nondescript, neither notable as good or bad.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;
