For years, Maira Perez thought to be healthy she had to eat salad -- and certainly not the food her grandparents and parents grew up eating in Mexico.
Even her doctor once suggested she "slow down on the tortillas," she recalls, as they discussed managing her weight. After a string of short-lived and frustrating diets, the CSU East Bay student found the inspiration she needed in professor Luz Calvo's ethnic studies course, which gave her a new, healthier take on traditional Mexican food, inspiring her to cook "the tamales, the beans, the fresh tortillas, nopales -- the things we thought of as unhealthy."
"It's something that changed my life," Perez, 23, said of the class, "as a student, as a mother, as a person."

Pepitos and cayenne.
I like my diet de-livered.
Remember the Pueblo Revolt? When the Spanish were driven out of New Mexico, Po-Pe the new ruler demanded anything Spanish be destroyed and forgotten.
Horses were killed or released. Hogs, Sheep and goats destroyed, cattle destroyed. The natives had to go back to hunting elk and deer.
Ten years later, the Spanish returned. They found a sullen unhappy, worked to death people who wished for anything Spanish especially the food! lamb and goats, cattle. Hunting for elk was hard work!
The population had actually decreased due to attacks by Apaches and Navajos.
So much for decolonization.
Nopales in a jar look like they have been preserved in snot, much like boiled okra.
Otherwise they are pretty good!
Her hairstyle is not authentic.
Nopalitos con huevo, with beans and rice wrapped in a freshly made corn tortilla is one of my absolute favorite meals. There’s only one place in Silicon Valley I’ve found that makes it right: Baja Cactus, on Main St. in Milpitas. Not what it was 25 years ago, but still very good.
I love the Dona Maria with the Jalepeno Pepper and Oregano. I also like them fresh cut and diced to make a crunchy salad.
You are making me hungry.
You can indict a ham sandwich.
In a rabbinical court, yes.
