(Even their saltine cracker-coated chicken, a sometimes special, has honest roots in the South's community cookbook tradition, wherein broccoli and squash casseroles alike gain crunch by way of crumbled Ritz crackers.)

Instead, Taqueria del Sol — which now has a catering operation and will soon open a fourth location 70 miles up the road in Athens — has, in this day of Minutemen patrols and razor-wire fencing along the Rio Grande, accomplished something miraculous, a border straddle.

Taqueria del Sol is Southern: They serve hacked pork barbecue, topped with coleslaw. And it's Mexican: That barbecue comes tucked in a flour tortilla, and the slaw is chocked with jalapeno."

(C)Goya Foods

"Cooking" with the acidity of lime juice is a delicious, low-calorie method of preparing fresh fish, that has been around since ancient times. This tomato-based version originated in Acapulco and is very popular along the Pacific Coast. Serve up this tasty starter in a pretty sundae glass or on soda crackers.

Ingredients
1 lb. very fresh, boneless red snapper or other white lean-fleshed fish,
cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup fresh lime juice

Note: For extra "zing" add a finely diced Jalapeno along with the diced onions.

Directions

1. Place fish in shallow glass dish. Add lime juice, cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 2 hours at room temperature or until opaque. (The fish will not "cook" as quickly if refrigerated.) Stir occasionally.

What many Latinos probably did not know is that the antioxidants in this scrumptious little red fruit may also help prevent cancer.

According to a recent study, antioxidants may help prevent the growth of oral, colon and prostate cancers, in particular. The good news is strawberries are a great source of antioxidants and are available year-round. Strawberries also have more vitamin C per serving than an orange (one serving = 8 medium strawberries).

Elvia Barboa, CEO of Padres Contra El Cancer, said, "We see the devastating impact cancer has on families every day. Preventing cancer at times seems a daunting task, but it is important for families to know that by simply eating strawberries Latino families can take one step to help protect their body from this disease while at the same time reinforcing healthy eating habits to their children."

Strawberries have numerous natural plant compounds which may help prevent cancer. A key factor in many cases of cancer is unrepaired damage to DNA. The antioxidant power of strawberries helps protect DNA from damage. These antioxidants include anthocyanins (which make strawberries red), ellagitannins, flavonols, and flavanols.

Here are some easy and delicious strawberry recipes to share with your family:
