Much like the deep and bitter divide of Salsa Roja vs Salsa Verde, the state of Nuevo León is divided between two pro soccer teams: Los Tigres and Los Rayados. On this episode, Pati tries the food at each stadium with stars from each team to be the judge on who wins in the battle of tortas and tacos.
In the kitchen recipes:
Asado de Puerco con Empalmes / Pork Stew stacked in corn tortillas
Frijoles con Veneno / Poison Beans
Choripan con Carne Asada / Argentinian Chorizo and Carne Asada Torta
Chimichurri Mexa / Chimichurri with a Mexican accent
