This is a week ahead of time so everyone can plan ahead. Of course nothing says you can’t make a few of these earlier in the week. Instead of a full menu, we’re going al a carte this week. Mix and match as you wish.
Shrimp Tacos with Green and Pink Tomatoes with Chipotle OR Drunken Pintos
Big chunks of feta
Everybody loves tacos
Cilantro Grilled Salmon with Black Bean Sauce
It really works on tacos with a black bean sauce
Black Bean and Sweet Potato Empanadas with Red Chili Sauce
More sauce on mine
Still need another side? We love Mexican slaw, avocado salad and saffron rice.
Don’t forget the cocktails.
Perhaps a mezcarita?
That is a festive hat
Or maybe a margarita with a kick?
So hot you’re cold
Check out more margaritas here. And don’t forget the guac!
Really, it’s healthy, I mean they are fruit.

We watched an interesting show about Fast Food in South and Central America tonight ~ Brazil, Peru, Columbia, Mexico, etc. Lots of interesting overlaps and variations of fast food here and there.
Why am I sharing this? Because empanadas and arepas figured prominently . . . as did beans, rice, and guacamole.
G’day and OLE! TRUE!
GREAT photos and the recipe look YUM! I am starting to crave Mexican food now too! 🙂
Cheers!

What’s On The List?

I adore Mexican food and this celebration is a perfect reason to make it! And all of a sudden I can’t stop thinking about the tortilla soup.
In Mexico, tacos are made with two tortillas, one overlapping the other to make a “long” soft taco. All this goodness would make quite a meal in a long taco. 🙂
Some year you and I should meet and celebrate together. Our passion for Mexican food seems to be equal. I think we might explode after the meal though…
Dear Greg and Katherine…please stop posting taco photos. You’re making me STARVING at 6.30am on a Monday morning, and I have only toast to look forward to for breakfast! 🙂
It’s a message from the future!
Oh my gosh. This post is making me drool!!!! Those smoked pork tacos look incredible, as does that pink and moist salmon on black bean sauce. Argh. It’s after 9pm here and I’ve already had dinner. Now I just want to make tacos.
You guys know your tacos! This is one of your best Dinners yet.
Bring on the margaritas and guacamole!
Already have the margarita ready sittin’ in the freezer. 🙂
