I did not add the pine nuts. I couldn't find them for less than $8 and I decided that wasn't an expense I wanted for this meal. I'm certain they would have rounded out the flavor more and if I make this again, I'd probably do a bit more hunting to find cheaper ones so I could add them.

Chalsea, Why don't you bring Ken down to Mexico and I will turn my kitchen over to you for awhile. I'll even do the shopping. Your food looks delicious.
