Fideo is one of those dishes my mom made all the time growing up. She still makes it for my nephew all the time. But it’s not a dish I ever made on my own until I saw a friend post in on Facebook.
Then I was like man, I miss that stuff. So of course I had to go ahead and make some right away. I made it with my Aunt Rita’s beans recipe. And some homemade tortillas. Best. Thing. Ever. And the perfect meatless dish for Lent.
I snap chatted my niece when I was making it and she asked what that was. Spaghetti? Well, it does kind of resemble a Mexican spaghetti. It’s definitely a dish that makes me think of family and my roots.
