One of my favorite things to do on a Sunday, is to go to the swap meet. Are swap meets a thing everywhere, or just in Southern California? (I think lots of places have them, but they have different names like open air markets, flea markets, bazzars, etc...). My most favorite swap meet is the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet. It's full of bargains. This morning I got 24 pairs of earrings, a pair of shoes, 3 pairs of socks, a set of adorable nail decals, a bag of duritos (a pinwheel shaped fried wheat snack), and the best glass of lemonade I've ever had, for a measley $12.50!
But in addition to the awesome deals, they also have awesome music. Every Friday night, Saturday and Sunday afternoons, there are live bands playing. My favorites are the cover bands. Think bands like No Duh, Slaves Against the Machine, This Charming Man, Hard Days Night, and Red Not Chili Peppers, just to name a few. My favorite, though, is probably Metalachi. They are a heavy meatal mariachi band. If you don't believe me...
The Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet is packed full of amazing Mexican food, music, and culture. So, today's super simple recipe comes from Hearty Vegan, aka, Home-Cooked Vegan Comfort Food: More Than 200 Belly-Filling, Lip-Smacking Recipes
for a dipping sauce inspired by the popular Mexican street snack of grilled corn covered in mayonnaise and cheese that you can get at the swap meet. And in honor of swap meets and good deals, I've got a sweet deal for one of you...I'm giving away a copy of Hearty Vegan.

Tacos!!!
Fresh tortillas with earth balance.
poblano and portobello mushroom chimichangas Yum!
Refried beans! I could live on them for weeks at a time!
It's really hard to choose between burritos, tacos and nachos but they must all have a ton of cilantro in them!
I would say that I order burritos the most.
Hmm...I don't think we have swap meets around here, but if we do- they are filled with gross meaty Southern food! Thanks for having a giveaway!

Thanks for this giveaway !!! I love Mexican food, bnut my favorite is guacamole and probably enchiladas.
It keeps saying I need to add a comment which I already did but I love tacos too!! ;)
Oh my Mexican food... I love all of it, but probably any enchilada is my fav, you have to love anything rolled in a tortilla and covered in sauce with jalapenos. ummmmm
Tacos! With guacamole of course. Really, anything with guacamole.
