¡Feliz Dia del Taco! Esa comida deliciosa que no importa de qué nacionalidad seas todos los amamos, y especialmente en Texas.
Como mamas sabemos que uno de los momentos mas importante para la familia es la hora de la comida, donde todos compartimos sobre nuestro día e la mesa, y más aun si esto incluye Tacos.
Así que para el Dia Nacional del Taco voy a crear dos recetas de tacos y un licuado con el delicioso jugo de Naranja Simply Nature que solo consigues en Aldi. Estas recetas super fáciles de hacer con los productos de los supermercados ALDI que son los que ofrecen los alimentos de la mejor calidad a los precios mas bajos, con marcas exclusivas como las tortillas Pueblo Lindo, que son mejores que las marcas nacionales en el mercado.
Una de las cosas que más me impresionan de ALDI es que los productos frescos llegan a las tiendas a ¡diario! Así sabes que siempre estas llevando los productos más frescos y al mejor precio. Al comprar mis manzanas orgánicas en ALDI me estoy ahorrando $1.50, en otras tiendas en mi área cuestan mas de $5! y ni hablar de las fresas, en otras tiendas cuestan $5 y en ALDI tan solo $1.50 me ahorre $3.50 centavos!
Así que sin más preámbulos vámonos con la receta de mi primer taco:
Tacos de Reina Pepiada
La reina pepiada es una arepa muy popular en Venezuela, y como yo soy de allá y mi esposo es de origen mexicano, decidí hacer esta fusión, que les cuento que quedo para ¡chuparse los dedos!
Los Ingredientes
2 pechugas de Pollo (1 lb)
Tortillas de Maíz Pueblo lindo de Aldi
Cebolla mediana cortada en cuadros
3 cucharadas soperas de Mayonesa
Sal al gusto
Pimienta
1 aguacate mediano
1 limón
Preparación:
En una olla mediana pon a hervir agua y agrega la cebolla mediana en cuartos y sal al gusto, agrega la pechuga hasta que este cocida
Ya que la pechuga este cocida, se desmenuza el pollo a mano o usando un procesador de comida, y se le agrega un aguacate mediano, limón, mayonesa y sal al gusto. Mezclar hasta que todo este mezclado como una crema.
En un sartén o comal caliente sus tortillas de maíz, agregue la mezcla de pollo, una rebanada de aguacate y puede agregarle unas hojitas de cilantro como decoración.
Tacos de Pescado con Chipotle
Para nuestra segunda receta decidí preparar un delicioso taco de pescado empanizado, perfecto para esos días que estamos de prisa. Este taco es definitivamente es ¡unos de mis favoritos!
Los Ingredientes
1 caja de Pescados empanizados
1 limón
Aguacate mediano
Tortillas de Harina Pueblo Lindo
1 lata de chipotle Pueblo Lindo
3 cucharadas de Mayonesa
Bolsa de repollo picado
Cilantro
Sal al gusto
Preparación:
Prender el horno y seguir instrucciones en la caja para hornear los palitos de pescado
En una licuadora, combina 4 cucharadas soperas de mayonesa y dos o tres chiles chipotles (al gusto)
En un contenedor, mezcle el repollo rallado con la salsa Mayo – Chipotle
Mientras tanto caliente las tortillas de harina
Saque los palitos de pescado empanizados del horno, y empieza armar los tacos. Coloque tres palitos de pescado sobre la tortilla, agregue la mezcla de repollo, cilantro al gusto y exprima unas gotas de limón sobre el taco.
Licuado Tropical
Y para acompañar nuestros tacos prepararemos una bebida refrescante, deliciosa y muy fácil de preparar.
Los Ingredientes
1 bolsa de fruta tropical congelada
Bananas
Jugo de naranja Simply Nature
Preparación:
Agrega una taza de frutas congeladas, una banana rebanada y una taza de jugo de naranja en la licuadora y mezcle
Sirva la bebida en un vaso y decore con una fresa

Y’all! I finally put together all the tips I can think to help you have a stress free experience at Disney (or any park!)
We visited Cali a month ago and we were able to visit 3 Parks!
Get ready.
Print this and start the checking out!
Plan your Visit:
Buy tickets online
Visit on non-peaks days (Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday)
Download the app (Link your tickets there)
Select your bag:
Select a bag that doesn’t’ have to many pockets (Saves you check in time)
Make sure material is waterproof
Pack your bag:
I always bring two bags, a small crossbody bag with my personal and valuable items: Wallet, phone, camera and makeup (lol)
And a backpack with:
Ponchos (Because we never now with the weather)
Extra change of clothes (For kids AND adults)
Water (We put our water in the freezer overnight to have nice cold water during the day), All Disney parks allow you to get free water at counter service restaurants
Wipes (We use them for everything)
Snacks (Chips, cookies, crakers, fruits)
Hand sanitizer (because, you know)
Bring a towel (to dry off seats after rain or claim your spot at a parade) Turkish towels are a great idea
Stroller fan
Reusable straws
Sunscreen! (You won’t regret this one!)
Medications
Bathing suit for the kids
Hats for the whole family
Blister balm (because you are going to walk a lot!)
Prepare your Phone:
Make sure your phone has enough memory
Phone charger
Compact external phone Charger (This is a MUST for me, I loooove taking pictures and videos)
Ziploc bags (to protect your phone for those water rides)
If you can, Airplane mode so no one interrupts you during the day
Make sure to clean lenses often
When holding your phone to take a picture, hold it at eye level, not above your head. You’re gonna get a better shot if you can see what you’re photographing
Not everything has to be staged. When it comes to memories, candid shots will tell the stories you’ll remember for a lifetime.
Plan your day:
When you park your car, make note of the location. It may be helpful to snap a photo of this location with your phone
Arrive at the park before it opens. I suggest arriving 30-45 minutes
Always start your day form the back to park to the front
Buy the photo pass, as photographer I can tell you is TOTALLY WORHT IT!
Leave the most popular rides to the end (We did this in Universal and we were able to ride the most popular one 3 times with a waiting time of 5 minutes!)
If your child isn’t tall enough to go on a particular ride, use the “Child Swap/Rider Switch” program
We don’t do reservations, but if you are a planner, you should (We eat anything whenever we are hungry)
Unless you are absolutely positive you’ll need Park Hopper tickets, hold off buying them since you can always upgrade a ticket at Guest Services, but you can’t get your money back if you don’t use it
Have a midday break with your lunch, take some time to rest and recharge
Many stores remain open after rides close, so you can do your souvenir shopping before leaving the park
Ride Tips:
Check the rides before (Since I’m not a fan of rides I check each one of them in youtube to make sure which one I want to ride)
The back row on the coasters are typically the fastest and the roughest (Keep that in mind)
Some rides have controls you can move that allow riders to go either up and down or tilt front to back
For most people, the 3-D effects in attractions are best seen from further back in the theaters
Single rider lines are a blessing! If you can split up your group, do it.
Lines close at official park closing time. However, the park stays open for at least one more hour. Therefore, plan to get in line before the park “closes” and you will be safe to ride an attraction past the official park closing time
Bring some games or books for those long waiting lines
More tips:
Bring a stroller! I cannot tell you how much time you will save having your kids in a stroller (you walk faster, they are secure when in crowds and they don’t get tired!)
Tie a ribbon (or another identification marker) to the handle. This way you can easily identify your stroller
I hope you enjoy your next visit to the parks the same way we did it!
And let me know in the comments if I’m missing more tips!
We are so excited to tell you everything about our California Adventure! A magical trip that my family and I were able to enjoy after being in lockdown for more than a year. We want to thank Buick for letting us test-drive their Luxury SUV Envision Avenir 2021 for a whole week!
Being able to drive this amazing SUV from Los Angeles to sight-seeing the beautiful beaches from Redondo Beach to San Diego driving the Pacific Coast Highway, going to the parks, and driving it East to the desert in California, the Buick Envision was a total joy to drive. My husband and I were very impressed with how smooth the car drove and the very advanced technology features in the Envision.
Whether you are looking for an SUV that you can use to commute to work, take it for long drives on the weekend, the space and safety features will make you feel safe and comfortable. This is a perfect Mami car and one of my favorite features of the car is the 10.2″ color touch-screen diagonal Buick Infotainment System. The ergonomic angled design has all the features you are looking for from Navigation to Bluetooth technology to controlling the AC and much more. Besides the huge screen. here are some of my other favorite features in the Envision 2021:
– Wood tone accents on the doors. This makes it look so fancy.
– HD Surround Vision Camera. The view is truly amazing, you can see it at a 360-degree angle making it easier to park, get out of small parking spots, and more!
– Driver’s seat massage feature. This. Just WOW
– Wireless smartphone charging. After a long day at the beach or at Disney, you just drop your smartphone there, and it charges. No More Tangled Cables around the car!
– Dual-wing center armrest. This is a must for me now!
– Covered storage compartmentbelow the instrument panel. Its retractable cover allows hidden storage of valuables. Genius.
– Heated steering wheel. No more wearing gloves inside the car, you really know what I mean…
– Rear Seat Reminder. This is so important for us, for parents on the go!
– Panoramic power moonroof. We enjoyed this so much, California weather was perfect to keep it open all the time.
What about Safety?
The Standard safety tech features include lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot warning, rear parking sensors, and GM’s Safety Alert seat that vibrates to attract your attention to all those safety systems. You can also add a 360-degree camera, front parking sensors, a head-up display, and GM’s rearview camera mirror.
Exterior Luxurious Look
The exterior design and features are top-notch, the modern aerodynamic lines, intelligent LED premium headlights to the hands-free liftgate, and premium wheels make this a beautiful luxury SUV for you.
Performance
The 2021 Buick Envision features the new 2.0L Turbo ECOTEC engine which shows Buick’s commitment to performance while featuring some of the highest standards in safety including the intelligent All-Wheel Drive that adjusts each wheel to maximize traction in wet and dry conditions to Selectable Drive Modes.
I could go on and on about all the safety, technology, and performance features including their interior and exterior design. The Envision is definitely one of the best Luxury SUV’s Buick has to offer and I had the pleasure to test drive!
Thank you BUICK! and thank YOU for always following our adventures!

The “aerating pool” is a collection of fountains that sits beneath the shade of towering oak trees, especially beautiful at night when it is lit up. The “meditation pool” is a peaceful place that is cordoned off by cypress trees, while water slides down sheer walls into a calm, blue pool.
