"Yeah, I was," she says simply, shrugging. Back when doctors were in every corner, in every hospital in droves, when drug stores had medications on every shelf and more in tubs in the back besides.

Not important. She pushes back up to her feet and comes over to help when she realizes he probably doesn't know what a tortilla is.

"I'm fucking starving, so load 'er up," she says, but reaches to take over the spatula from him.

"That's rice with tomatoes, garlic, onion, peppers, lime, and chili," she explains, and then shows him how there are corn tortillas layered through the beef mixture, the vegetables, the red sauce, the cheese. "And normally all this filling is rolled up in the tortillas, then coated in the sauce and topped with the cheese. Tonight you just get a pile of food." She cuts it like lasagna, and can't help but smile a bit at how mad her grandmother would have been, how she would have accused Rosita of being made lazy by these Americans.

"You like spice? Heat?"
