Here is a recipe for Cuban-style black bean soup, which you don't
really find here in Southern Mexico. But, you will notice that if you
order beans around here, especially in the central market, it is served
very soupy, so you can really think of this as an especially flavorful
black bean recipe (they are made the same, but with the addition of the
sauteed portion).

crops grown in Chiapas. An impressive array of varieties regularly
appear in San Cristóbal markets and delicious local recipes. Featuring
the delightful combination of zucchini and platano, this yummy
breakfast bread is a cinch to whip up with ingredients from your local
venta de frutas y verduras or US grocery store.

The nice thing about living in the Chiapas Peace House is that every
new person brings something exciting with them into the house. Our
current volunteer, Sarah, has not only brought her green thumb to our
sorely neglected garden, but has also given us the gift of enchiladas.
Enchiladas are a filling, savory, satisfying meal, which more or less
occupies the same food niche as lasagna, and other starchy, cheesy,
tomato-y foods. Their preparation is a little involved, so they're a
food best cooked with a couple of extra hands around to help with the
dipping, stuffing and rolling. They're also good cold, for breakfast
the next morning. We love them.

We've had the honor of commemorating several birthdays, arrivals and
departures here at the Peace House with this delicious chocolate cake.
But really, a cake this easy and good can and should be made whenever
possible.

This is a classic Chiapanecan breakfast. It is rich and relatively easy
to make. The key ingredient is pepita, ground roasted pumpkin seeds.
Pepita is relatively hard to find in the U.S. so you can either make
your own or substitute pre-made Pipian sauce (I recommend Dona Maria
brand).
