South of the Border

· · 🌡️ 63°F

I guess, south of the Canadian border.
well, technically, east. But anyhow..

'South of the border' is the theme. Have decided on Tex-Mex food stuffs for my upcoming bonfire, Sat 9/22. Fajitas, beans and rice, guacamole, corn bread and of course, Tequila! OOOH and a pinata! But there seems to be something missing. Like I should have another option as a side or two. Maybe a vegetable? I have no idea! Any suggestions?!!

The foodie sites haven't been that helpful to me!

    salsa, all different kinds -- hot, medium, mild, sweet with mangos, sweet with pineapple. 3, 4 or 5 layer dip. pico de gio. corn and bean salad. spicy herby grilled corn. spicy 3, 4, or 5 bean salad. corn chips, of course, for dipping. taquitos -- chicken or beef or bean. quesadillas. mexican potatoes.

    hmm... i think that's all i can come up with right now.

    How fun! @drew and I had a Mexican themed wedding. Here were some of the ideas we had:

    Sombreros for everyone to wear or for decoration.

    Pitchers of Sangria

    Bottles of Corona

    Go to a mexican grocer and buy lots of mexican candy to stuff the pinata with.

    Guacamole is all veggies. Sure, the avocado is mostly fat, but it is the most nutritious kind of fat and OH so delicious.

    You could make veggie tamales, but after the tequila and the belly full of delicious food I don't think anyone will notice the lack of dark leafy greens ^_^

    I'm really starving as I read and respond to all these super helpful comments! Seriously, if you guys want to venture out, you are more than welcome to! Just send a message!

    mmmm, I think making salsa is a great idea, @leetee. Maybe a sweeter one. Lets see what I can come up with.

    @ladycroft, believe me, I already thought that :( Its weird to imagine you not present at one of my bonfires!

    @mrmike, agreed!

    @janelle, thats fantastic that you had a themed wedding! very cool. I love to hear about people really making that day their own. I love the Sombrero idea. I need to find a party store! Corona is a sure thing and probably margaritas. I will also need to find plastic margarita cups.

    @james hehe, yeh, hopefully after the tequila, peoples belly stay full; or whatever is inside stays inside. Guacamole is a sure thing. I LOVE it. I'll make some for everyone else too :)
