Most Popular Petenero Lunch

This is the lunch that was served by the Women’s Group for the construction workers who were pouring cement for the floor in their new building (see www.ixcanaan.blogspot.com for more on this). This type of lunch is, without question, the most popular lunch amongst the people who live in this area. It is made up of fried chicken, rice, a potato-vegetable salad (or, often, a cabbage salad) and tortillas. It is usually eaten by ripping chunks of chicken from the bone to wrap in the tortilla and eat with the rice and vegetables.
