Pesto & Potatoes

Every year when the Seattle rain starts to get to me, I strategically plan a vacation to Puerto Vallarta. Visiting the Mexican tourist destination has become a bit of a tradition for my pack of friends – and many others. It’s an affordable place to visit and, for me, it’s also home to my absolute favorite cuisine. There are so many memories made around sizzling plates of fresh-off-the-grill fajitas and plenty of blended cocktails. The flavors of Mexico, no matter when I have them, instantly transport me back to the beaches of Puerto Vallarta.
