Well…Tuesday is Cinco De Mayo day. We are having CrockPot Chicken fajitas. Very easy to make…and delicious. We will have it on rice with guacamole, salsa, sour cream and cheese. We’ve had it before and it’s terrific.
Oh…and I was able to get all the ingredients at the store today!
What about you?
Corona, beer. ? Sorry but have to maintain a sense of humor these days.
We had shredded chicken tacos this week. Will have to come up with a different menu for Tues. Hopefully we get the avocados we ordered in our grocery pick-up. At least I know we have Modelo.
I will do carne asada tacos for H and fish tacos for D2 and I. I have avocados that should be perfect for guacamole since they are not at all ripe yet and I will pick up extra jalapenos for our favorite spicy margaritas. I have never made flan before so maybe I will try that for dessert.
That’s days away, I have no idea! But I have to say right now I could be perfectly happy with a big bowl of chips and three bowls of guacamole, fresh salsa and queso! And I don’t usually drink but a nice salted margarita sounds good too!!! (I do love Mexican food)
Really depends on what my shopping kids bring home and if I’m cooking it them.
I have a mask with hot peppers and salsa fabric.
Corona is paying for me to get takeout for my family on Cinco, so I’m deciding between restaurants currently.
I’ll be visting Puerto Backyarda and throwing some chicken fajitas on the grill and making fajita bowls with black beans and rice.
^^^ Good one. 
It’s looking like Taco Tuesday here!
Ooh, need to look for some good recipes. Guac for sure, and jalapeno margaritas. We usually do chicken fajitas but since I have time it’d be nice to find something new and different.
If I can find some skirt steak anywhere (doubtful) we will do steak fajitas on the grill. If not, we will probably have burrito bowls and I’ll make my black bean and corn salad with chipotle-honey dressing no matter which entree we have.
@showmom858 Can you share your spicy margarita recipe?
Shipped D1 in New England a box of New Mexico specialties (salsa, red and green chile). It will arrive on Cinco de Mayo. Lucky her!
For me–
appetizer: green chile queso blanco with chips
main dish: creamy chicken green chile enchiladas
sides: refried pinto beans or Mexican rice, plus a green salad (I’m harvesting my first leaf lettuce crop!)
beverage: Marble Brewery Double White
OR-- I’ll be ordering take out from The Range Cafe. Blue corn cheese enchiladas w/ green chile or a barbacoa beef burrito w/ green chile. Both come with freshly cooked pintos and arroz verde.
I’ll still have a Marble Double White if I do take out.
Yum, I am sorry I’m no longer near you or I would be crashing the party.
I can ship you a box New Mexico hot stuff too!
Stop by next time you’re passing through and we’ll have margaritas!
Well, we don’t have any avocados and I’m not going shopping until the 6th-8th, but maybe some chips and salsa just to get in the mood.
@WayOutWestMom what is the name of the company that makes the salsa/chile? My neighbors lived in NM about 20 years and had a favorite local brand of salsa they missed when they moved here to MD. They used to order a box of it every so often and we’d split it. It’s been many years since we’ve had it but curious if it is the same company. I think it was called 505?
@thumper1 - can you please share your recipe for your crockpot chicken fajitas?
We are having white queso and salsa with chips, margaritas (if dh gets out and buys tequila), and crockpot beef and bean tostadas.
BEEF AND BEAN TOSTADAS
1 lb ground beef, browned and drained
2 cans refried beans (I usually use one regular, one fat-free)
1 envelope taco seasoning mix
8 ounces tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
12-16 flat tostada shells (or can just use chips and make messy nachos - you could probably also roll up in a flour tortilla like a burrito)
Preferred toppings - shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salsa, guacamole, sliced black olives, jalapeños, etc. If you overload, it’s too much for the flat tostada shells - that’s why I usually just use chips and make messy nachos by “plopping” the mixture in blobs on a pile of chips on a plate.
Combine browned ground beef, retried beans, taco seasoning mix, tomato sauce, and water in crockpot. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. I sometimes have to add additional water to keep it from sticking/burning - might depend on how “hot” your crockpot runs.
So easy and cheap.
