Shelby’s Serving Suggestion💡

            Sauté onions, corn, bell peppers, and your favorite pre-mixed chorizo. Serve warm over freshly pressed waffles with a generous drizzle of Mexican crema aside a lightly dressed side of romaine lettuce. Sprinkle with cotija or queso fresco and a few squeezes of lime.
