HOLA!
We're visiting Mexico this month at my Around The World Potluck club!
Course ya gotta start things off with a margarita and a yummy appetizer:
(Those are Mexican Egg rolls, prepared by Betsy. YUMMY! Recipe HERE if you want to give them a try.
Shelly prepared a wonderful Mexican Caesar salad. With Cilantro Pepita dressing, pepitas and tortilla chips as garnish. Oh and I think there was lettuce in there too. (HERE is a similar recipe)
Our most delicious main dish was Robin's chicken and cheese enchiladas -- Muy Bien!
Here is her recipe in case you want to try these:
Robin's Enchiladas- approx 8
1/4 cup Onion saute'd in olive oil
Add diced chicken - 3 or 4 cups, one container or Philly cooking cream,
1/2 small can green chilis and 1 cup cheese.
Mix together over low heat in skillet.
Scoop about 1/3 of mixture into flour tortilla, roll up.
Put the seam down on baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
Top with enchilada sauce and more cheese.
Oven at 350 bake for 15-20 minutes or till hot and cheese is melted!!
Course some spanish rice and fresh flour tortillas were yummy too.
Then came Wendy's Sopapailla Cheesecake
