Menu is courtesy of Calendario Azteca Restaurant as part of the April 26 A Taste for Life fundraiser for Bruce House and the Snowy Owl AIDs Foundation.
Pictured are: an unfamiliar looking twist on quesadillas — Quesadillas Azteca made of masa (corn dough) pressed into three pockets and stuffed and deep fried. We chose the flor de calabaza (pumpkin flower) & onion, portobello mushrooms & onions and cheese options.
Enchiladas (but not your average fare): corn tortillas filled with chicken and covered with Mole Rojo: (a traditional sauce made with ground roasted peppers, roasted nuts, spices and dark chocolate). Topped with Azteca sour cream and queso fresco (unripened cheese). Served with Mexican rice and black beans and crisp corn chips for garnish and bonus textural contrast.
Their dessert menu is likewise varied and well-executed. But I took no photos, so I’ll tell no tales.
