The west has some of the largest cities in the USA but also is known for it's open fields. The food is generally simple consisting of meat, homemade breads, and 'locally grown fruits and vegetables'. Grilling and Barbecue is common. Pioneers, Native Americans, Mexicans and Spaniards influenced this region. The food is somewhat rich in flavor because of the Mexicans and Spaniards. The climate is also hot and sunny, which affects the food.
The first dish I made was Chicken Enchiladas. These were not too hard to make, they were pretty easy too. The only hard part was that when making the tortillas soft in oil, they got really hot and were hard to roll with bare hands. We devoured them though, the sauce is really tasty and as a whole the dish is quite filling.
The second dish was Spicy Potato Wedges. These were SUPER easy, all that was required was cuting up the potatoes and sprinkling them with spices. They were also extremely delicious and we devoured them :)
