A final fox tip

This dish is a celebration of the end of summer by incorporating a bounty of tomatoes and fresh parsley. For a more traditional spin, you can also include a sprinkling of crumbled queso fresco or cotija cheese. Add a side of refried beans if you so wish. Have kids? They can help with garnishing the dish with parsley.
