Taco salads and warm tortillas filled with strawberries, chocolate and whipped cream.

I forgot about it, but I have avocados in the fridge, and so I guess I should make guacamole. I have ground turkey and some chicken sausage (from Trader Joe's) that I need to cook, but those can wait. I guess I could make burritos or tacos with the ground turkey...

Sleevendog, Your Micheladas sound great! Will have to try them. We often sip a Mexican Completo. The only Tequila allowed in this house has to say 100% Agave on the label. Here is a recipe for the Completo: http://www.globalgourmet.com/food/kgk/2000/0500/completo.html#axzz3ZHqxIvmk

All these Cinco De Mayo ideas sound delicious!

I'm breaking tradition this year, usually I'm through the better part of my first bottle of tequila by now, but this year I'm not drinking. Might be giving Micheladas with Old Milwaukee NA a shot, LOL! My son has baseball this evening so I've got to come up with something I can shop for quickly before, and cook quickly after. Will probably wing something like fajita-style chicken on top of Mexican rice, with melted Mexican cheese? Wish I had time to be more creative.

I was recently gifted some good tequila, yikes, knocked me socks off. : )

(last night)

My michelada is a bit mild. Lots of ice, lots of fresh lime, a frozen garden tomato or a few cherry toms from last season, just thawed enough to slice, but still icey....a bit of spice, whostershire, (sp,lol) , sometimes ginger or horseradish...but usually thin, with beer, like a refreshing bloody mary. But not at all thick. If i added cilantro it would be a gazpacho.

Completo is new to me....thanks!

We had taco salad and avocado dip with chips. Simple and easy.

I ended up doing what I said above, using the following recipe for the chicken. Fast, good, one kid ate it. That's considered a success around here.

Because it's a format your phone doesn't recognize for some reason. Are you blocking some feature?

After the switch, I had to enable pop-ups specifically for this site because I couldn't see any of the icons at the bottom of the comment box when I went to the birdwatching forums on Houzz. But it only happened on my Mac.

Not blocking anything that I know of. I lost it suddenly a couple weeks ago, mentioned it on another thread and Tamara asked for screenshots which I provided but last I looked there was no response.

I was looking through our packed freezer for the last of the beef soup bones from our steer we butchered in Dec 2013 and SCORE found a prime rib roast. So yesterday we had prime rib roast, sweet potatoes and green beans. I made a chocolate black out cake for dessert.

Have you recently updated the operating system on your phone? All sorts of twitchy things happen with every update. I hate those updates, takes forever to work out the new kinks.

Freedom Friday, but still on a Tuesday!

Who wants a taco?

I served rice with sautéed veggies on a bed of shredded lettuce. Topped with shredded cheese, guacamole, and sour cream.

That sounds very healthy, acadiafun1! We are having our leftover taco fillings, rice, beans, meat, salsa, cheese, in burritos this morning for breakfast! No margaritas though. Saving that leftover for 4 PM cocktails.

My SIL had Cinco de Mayo dinner for about 12 last night + one three year old who was very social and fun - daughter of a younger couple they had just met who had moved into the neighborhood. Stick on moustaches and straw sombreros.

A warm bean dip, pico de gallo, salsa, chips. She served her mock chicken enchilada casserole (that I find acceptable but not wonderful). Carne asada (Costco's pre-marinated) with a make your own fajita bar, rice, refried beans. A blackberry dessert (mine), margaritas.

I really enjoy Hispanic foods, this was not the best. But lots of fun, lots of laughing so all in all a good evening.

Cinco de Mayo is not a big holiday in Mexico, and none of the Mexicans I know celebrate it, although they do celebrate Sept 16. I did make guacamole tacos but forgot to make Margaritas, which I believe were invented in El Paso.

Any excuse to eat Mexican food and have a Margarita! Or a Corona! Our town is half Hispanic. We even have stores that don't speak English. It's a big deal here! Cinco De Mayo!

Well, I know it's wrong, and I know it was Cinco de Mayo, but I was hungry for Sesame Chicken, so we had Chinese food, LOL.

Nothing wrong with sesame chicken for Cinco de Mayo.

Nothing wrong with sushi style tamales for CdM either. The green is not wasabi. It's guacamole.

We had refritos with queso along with tacos. I've been on this bean burito with whole wheat tortillas kick, so tonight after supper I had to make some more refried beans so I'd have them on hand.

The birthday in our family will always trump Cinco de Mayo. We also have either a Mexican style meal on a weekly basis so Prime rib will always trump tacos in my book.

Dcarch, that looks really good. Tamale sushi, go figure, LOL.
