Cinco De Mayo

This is a fantastic take on the traditional taco, combined with delicious fry bread instead of tortillas. You can top these tacos with anything you would like, here is a recipe for fry bread as well as some great taco toppings.

An all time favorite TexMex recipe.

Adds loads of flavor and color to Chicken Fajitas.

Once you've made your own corn tortillas you'll never want store bought again.

Perfect in their simplicity.  Serve with warm corn (or flour) tortillas with a squeeze of lime or dress them up with mango salsa, guacamole, marinated cabbage, pico de gallo or all of the above.

Food always taste better at camp after a long day on the trail.  This is a super easy, tasty Mexican treat that everyone will love.  And you get to sneak in some veggies. 

Add left over chicken, pork or beef you can add it in step 3.

Or add scrambled eggs and cooked bacon for a  breakfast enchilada.

I grew up making quesadillas, the benefit of having a Hispanic mother who is a great cook. "Queso" is cheese in Spanish. And a quesadilla is a toasted tortilla with melted cheese inside. But in addition to cheese, you can put practically anything in a quesadilla. My favorites are mushrooms, olives, tomatoes, and onions. I don't cook these ingredients first, but it really is a matter of taste. You could if you wanted to.

If you are in a hurry you can always purchase canned refried beans, but home-made ones are much better. Refried beans are served as a side to most Tex-Mex dishes -- they are put in enchiladas, made into bean dip and much more.

Perfect fresh tomato salsa for chips or gourmet nachos.

Posole, a hearty Mexican soup, is traditionally prepared with pork or chicken. Shrimp and scallops make this version special enough for a party.

Tangy, sweetness - perfect to serve on grilled fish tacos.

The perfect ending to a romantic dinner or other special occasion and since this is cooked in a slow cooker - you can relax and enjoy your evening.  This could work in a dutch oven a well.  I haven't tried it yet so if you do let me know how it works.

There is nothing better to serve as an appetizer than homemade guacamole.

Not only is guacamole delicious, but it is also extremely simple to make.
