Pico de Gallo, Guacamole, and Mexican Slaw

Last week we talked about Chicken Fajitas and a great staple recipe for Black Beans. Before that, I shared a recipe for margaritas. After this post, you’ll have everything you need to have a fiesta style celebration in your own home!

The thing that seals the deal on a great taco bar is the toppings. Here you have quick and easy recipes for pico de gallo, guacamole, and a tangy Mexican slaw to put on top of all those delicious fajitas and tacos. 
Fajita barPersonally, I also like to set out shredded cheese, Tapatio hot sauce, pickled jalapeño peppers, and some extra sour cream. And be sure to get something to pile all this on! Corn tortillas are classic, white tortillas have a nice texture, and wheat tortillas are now out on the market. I’m also a sucker for crunchy shells. Whatever kind you get, be sure to heat them up first. You can either individually heat them in a skillet, or I usually wrap a stack of them in foil and toss them in the oven to warm.

Any way you stack it, these are bound to be good! Enjoy!

  5. I do love the way you have presented this specific matter and it really does present me personally a lot of fodder for consideration. On the other hand, coming from what I have seen, I simply just hope as the actual feedback pile on that men and women remain on point and not get started on a tirade regarding some other news du jour. Still, thank you for this excellent point and though I do not concur with this in totality, I regard your standpoint.
