Welcome back family!
Today I'm sharing my recipe for tinga tostadas but not without first dedicating a little time to talk about the King of mariachi music, Vicente Fernandez. On December 12, 2021 the world lost a MUSIC LEGEND, VICENTE FERNANDEZ. Whether you are a fan or not but love music then you will agree that the musical legacy he established in the mariachi genres is worthy of respect as he represents a cultural icon to Mexico and loved throughout the world. @_vicentefdez will forever live in our hearts ♥️ May he RIP 🕊 🤍 🙏🏽 #siempreelrey👑#legendsneverdie
