Today, I had been busy with reading and replying to all the messages I got from my dear readers. I am truly overwhelmed! When my readers who are total strangers express their affection and support to me, I feel out of the world. I appreciate the enthusiasm and participation by all of you for the Eid contest. It&#8217;s definitely a fun contest where others can share their creativity with everyone out there, and we all get a chance to appreciate their effort. I am loving all the entires and looking forward to reading more recipes. It&#8217;s absolutely fun!<\/p>\n<p>Lately, my man is behind Antojitos. I am so glad that it&#8217;s not the name of a lady \ud83d\ude1b Well, it&#8217;s one of the popular Mexican street foods. This is served as an appetizer at most Mexican and some American restaurants. A few weeks ago, my man came home and started praising about antojitos that he had for lunch. After that he had that a few times too, and I had to listen to all the praises. That made \u00a0me wish if I were antojitos. I hadn&#8217;t tasted antojitos before, so I decided to have a taste of it. We dined at an American restaurant that served antojitos, I couldn&#8217;t agree more with my husband, it tasted so delicious: a melt into the mouth experience it was. Since then, making antojitos was on my top to do list. Yesterday, I couldn&#8217;t make up my mind on what to make for dinner, so I asked my hubby&#8217;s suggestion. Guess what he suggested? Exacltly, antojitosssss!!! I had to take up that challenge and I went into the kitchen with a mind all set to make the delicious antojitos. I totally followed my way and made my own version of antojitos and served my man. He was impressed even by looking at the plate, then he took a bit of it. I was anxious enough to get his feedback. He slowly chewed it, looked at me and said &#8220;Great job, you nailed it!&#8221; He said this tasted exactly like the restaurant style antojitos. I grabbed a few of them and I settled on cloud nine \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I made a vegetarian version of antojitos, you could make it with chicken or beef as well. This is a very easy to make recipe as I used store bought ingredients like tortilla, salsa and spinach cheese dip. A perfect finger food or appetizer that will just melt in to your mouth&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15251\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/antajitos.jpg\" alt=\"antojitos\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/antajitos.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/antajitos-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Whole Wheat Tortilla<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15252\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tortillas.jpg\" alt=\"tortillas\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tortillas.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tortillas-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/tortillas-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Tortilla topped with spinach cheese, cheddar cheese etc ( I didn&#8217;t add salsa to this one)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15253\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-antojitos.jpg\" alt=\"making-antojitos\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-antojitos.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-antojitos-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-antojitos-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rolled up tortilla place on baking sheet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15254\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/baking-antojitos.jpg\" alt=\"baking antojitos\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/baking-antojitos.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/baking-antojitos-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/baking-antojitos-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Baked Antojitos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15255\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-baked-antojitos.jpg\" alt=\"making baked antojitos\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-baked-antojitos.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-baked-antojitos-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/making-baked-antojitos-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/antajitos1.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Antojitos &#8211;
