Sprinkle with chopped green pepper (if using) for a little color, crunch, and a healthy dose of vitamin C. Note: Don't ask me why, but very often the price of the tortillas sold in the Hispanic foods section of a supermarket is lower than that of the tortillas sold in the refrigerator case of the very same supermarket.

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are great choices for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The DeLoach Russian River Pinot Noir with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 14 dollars per bottle.
