Cinco de Mayo

What are your favorite Mexican recipes.....?????  Please share them.

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo early this year. Weekends are always better time for celebrations, beats a work day anytime. Aunt Marion and Michael came down for a visit this past weekend, so it was the perfect time to break out the delicious Mexican food. Menu consisted of:

Pacifica Beer
Margaritas (Marion made these with what I had on hand, they were quite good)
Assorted wine (you knew we could not leave the vino out)

Tortilla Chips with Assorted Salsas
Tuna Tartare....Mexican Style (sushi grade tuna, jalapeno, tomato, green onion, cilantro and avocado)

Mixed Greens with Cotija Cheese, Tomatoes and Santa Fe Dressing
Surf and Turf Lobster Tacos (grilled lobster and filet mignon with small flour tortillas)
Fajita Roasted Potatoes (gold baby potatoes, red bell pepper, red onion and pablano Chili)

Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies (Brownie mix with cinnamon and paprika)

Stay tuned....coming later this month, a Western Menu to celebrate a trip to watch Professional Bull Riding....Round up your wranglers.
