I guess I am getting into the Mexico mode. My surgery is next week. I'm bringing my laptop and digital camera so if I'm up to it I'll give you guys a report from South of the Border. The hotel I'm staying at has the best Tortilla Soup. I'm going to try and get to be pals with someone in the know and find out the secret ;) wish me luck.

1 Egg, beaten
1/2 cup Milk

Toppings:
Sour Cream (or Fage Greek yogurt with Taco Seasoning sprinkled in it)

Add onions and green chilis to chicken. Mix pancake mix, salt, and baking powder in small bowl. Add egg and milk to make a batter.
