Tonight I'm having some girlfriends over for a mexican fiesta! Our group used to get together almost once a month, but once kids arrived it made our gatherings hard to coordinate. So tonight will be a fun night of laughs and catching up.
The menu:Pink Cadillac Margaritas and Iced Mango Sweet Tea
Chili Lime Mixed Nuts
Three Sisters Salad
Spanish Rice
Chicken Enchiladas
and Sopapilla Cheesecake with Dark Chocolate and Coconut Ice Creams
I like putting menus in frames - it makes the event seem more formal and is a fun touch.
Each place setting had a dark chocolate bar with the name of each guest.
And where there is mexican food, there is tequila!
The enchiladas can be made in advance and refrigerated. I made mine yesterday - just take them out of the fridge for a bit before putting in oven.
Three Sisters Salad - perfect dish for a dinner of sorority sisters! Corn, butternut squash and beans make up the sisters. I snuck a taste and it is delicious!
And to give the party another fun touch... premixed margs in mason jars and labeled with guest names. Just add some ice and shake!
I have to thank Southern Comfort magazine (August 2012 issue) for this great menu. And also want to thank Trader Joe's for their amazing (and super spicy) chile lime mixed nuts. Addicting.
