Hola!

Welcome to my new project, Mexican Munchies! My name is Aimee Castelan Torres (because my mom made sure I had her maiden name as well). I live in Austin, TX and am currently working on my master’s degree in digital marketing at the St. Edwards University. I work at a start up in the operations department near downtown. I decided to create a blog around food because, you know, we need it to survive, but also because I have fallen in love with the food my family has made over the years. I plan to feature recipes from my mother, my father and the original queen, Buela (my grandmother). By starting this blog, I’m hoping to learn my way around the kitchen and maybe even memorize these recipes by heart.

As you might have figured from the title, I will be showing you what kind of snacks you will often find my family eating. There will be some familiar foods but maybe I’ll be able to introduce you to something new. Recipes will range from small lunches, yummy tacos, and common street food all made from a home kitchen. Unfortunately, the corona virus has limited our social hangouts and restricted most of us from searching for a new restaurant to try. A great way to pass the time is by putting together an easy snack and share it with your kids, family and roommates. I look forward to sharing this part of my life with you and I hope you stick around to try them out for yourself.
