Comments from the Mexican food

- I have never really gave guacamole a chance  but yours was amazing. The chicken wrap thing were amazing as well. I put the lettuce and the tomato/ onion thing on top of the wrap and it was delicious.
- The salsa for the chips went perfect. It was delicious.
- Wow Naomi! Guac. always give me a belly ache, but yours didn't. Amazing!
- The guacamole had a nice soft texture and great flavor.
- Everything was really good, the only down, was that there were no more chips when I got my guacamole.
- Amazing food, Mexican food is one of my favorites.
- It was very enjoyable, as always, I did not eat the chicken thing because of my diet, but your chips and dips were very good! I am not a huge fan of pico de galllo, but I enjoyed it very much the way you made it. Thanks for filling us with food!
- I loved the "rolls" with chicken, especially after I added cheese and sour cream to it. The coconut dessert I have made with my grandmother before, they were a little more soft everything tasted really well.
- Your food was great! I loved the variety of dips was great and I loved how original the coconut sweet was. The only thing would say is that just like you mentioned in the beginning the burrito wasn't very crispy and it got soggy really quick, but otherwise, nice job!
- I don't really like cilantro but I thought you're guacamole and salsa were heavenly.
- This is the best guacamole I've ever had, and I've been to several gourmet Mexican restaurants.
- The food was really good. It tasted like the food that you would get at some restaurants, I have never tried those types of cookies before.
- I enjoyed the Mexican food today! I had never tried guacamole before today, it was different, but I liked it. The chicken wraps weren't my favorite, I thought they were a little dry. I really liked the coconut candy things, I thought  they were REALLY good.
- I've had everytrhing that I had I ate before. It was really good.

Irish...wait...Mexican Food

So I originally planned to make Irish food. However, for certain reasons I decided to change course and make Mexican food. Here is a picture below:

I am going to skip the comments for now however will post them on the next post since I will not be cooking next week due to the fact that I am cooking the last week of genius hour. So here are the recipes for flautas, cocadas, and guacamole.

Recipes:
Flautas:
-any toppings that you desire because this is like a plain taquito.
-chicken
-tortillas
-frying oil

1) First you would cook your chicken and once that is done, start to tear the chicken apart into medium sized pieces.
2) You will then begin to place chicken on the tortilla. If the tortilla starts to break then try to heat it up on a pan then wrap it.
3) Once you finish wrap the number of tacos desired, you begin frying the flautas. Put enough oil in a frying pan so that it will end up being the height of half a flauta. Fry one side until golden then flip.
4) Now you can place any toppings that you wish.

Cocadas:
-5 cups of sweet shredded coconut
-1/2 cup of dulce de leche

1)Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F

2)In a large bowl, mix together shredded sweetened coconuts with dulce de leche until well combined.

3)Use your hands to make little balls out of the combined mixture and place then on a pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are nicely browned. Cool completely before removing from the pan.

Guacamole:
-3(or as many as you please) avocados, halved, seeded and peeled
-1 lemon juiced
-1/2 teaspoon of salt
-1/2 medium sized red onion, diced
- 2(or less if you don't like tomatoes) sliced and diced
-1 tablespoon of chopped cilantro
-1 clove of garlic

1) Place all the ingredients in a blender and mix till thick.

Background of Ireland

As of 2011, the President of Ireland is Michael D. Higgins. In terms of agriculture, Ireland exports goods such as turnips, barley, potatoes, sugar beets, wheat, dairy, and beef. They also export machinery and equipment, computers, chemicals, pharmaceuticals; live animals, and animal products. With geography, Ireland is situated in the Atlantic Ocean and separated from Great Britain by the Irish Sea. Half the size of Arkansas, it occupies the entire island except for the six counties that make up Northern Ireland. Ireland resembles a basin—a central plain rimmed with mountains, except in the Dublin region. The mountains are low, with the highest peak, Carrantuohill in County Kerry, rising to 3,415 feet. Ireland is also home to many castles such as the one below from Dublin.
