They say that when you make food, you have to make it with love. Otherwise, it will not be tasty. This is probably the reason why mom’s food is the best… it’s because she makes it with love! One place I felt the Love in the food, was a restaurant in Las Vegas called: Pura Vida. A Vegan Latin Bistro and the lovely Owner-Chef Myra is so warm and inviting, you can feel her love and care in the food! If you are in the Sin City area… I defintely recommend it. (and say Hi to chef Myra!)
Dining there, inspired me to make this recipe. Full of flavors, it tastes like Vegas to me… I made the Shakshuka filling (which is a north african dish of poached eggs in tomato chili sauce) to go with the traditional latin Quesadilla and replaced the eggs with the scramble tofu Oh So Yummy… you will not be able to stop! Just don’t forget to add ♥LOVE ♥
