Taco Pizza

Here is the famous Taco Pizza you guys!

As many of you know, we love pizza and we love tacos around here almost more than anything else.

So why not combine the two into a delicious new creation?

Well.....that's exactly what I did.  I took the best of both dishes and made my now famous taco pizza a couple of months ago and have made it a few more times since.

Crunchwrap Supreme

I've been on a kick lately trying all the yummy dishes I see on Facebook videos.

This one I adapted from a video on Top Foodz (a FB commumity).

Crock Pot Chicken Fajitas

Here is another one of those Tasty recipes I adapted to make a delicious and super easy dinner last night.

These are literally the easiest fajitas I've ever made, and so fast to throw together.

Homemade Flour Tortilla Chips

You know those chips that you get at certain restaurants that everyone fights over?

You know, they're the ones that they only throw in 3 or 4 per batch with all the others.

The ones that are crispy and flaky, and delicious?

Ya those ones.

Well they are also super easy to make at home.

Chicken Fajitas

I make a lot of Mexican food around here and one of my favorites is Chicken Fajitas.

I have always used the same method the same seasoning and they were fine with everyone.

Then one day while I was making some Perfectly Grilled Chicken to serve on salads I decided to cut some up and put it in a tortilla and boy oh boy was it the best tasting fajita I've ever made!

I will let you know that the Grill Rub I use has some raw sugar in it so it lends a sweet and smoky flavor to these fajitas.

With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, isn't it time to try out something new?

Guacamole Burgers

I love a good homemade burger and I've been wanting to try out different flavors.

I figured with my love of Mexican food I couldn't go wrong with a burger with all the great flavors of Mexican food wrapped up in a soft bun.

In the past I have made Beef & Cheddar Sliders, Aloha Burgers, and Jack Daniels BBQ Bacon Burgers and while I consider all of these burgers amazing, I think my favorite so far are these Guacamole Burgers.

If you love Mexican food like I do, you'll love the combination of Mexican flavors and good old American Burger.

Give these a try and let me know what you think!

Shredded Beef Tortilla Stacks

You guys!

You guys have totally got to try this!

You guys are going to ab-so-freaking-lutely LOVE this new creation I've come up with!

Unless of course you come from planet "I don't like Mexican food" in which case you can turn around and go out the way you came in ;)

I made some Authentic Mexican Shredded Beef a couple of weeks ago and came up with several new recipes to use it in.  This one is by far my favorite and if you like Mexican food like I do, you are going to LOOOVE this one!

Authentic Mexican Shredded Beef

We are split in our house on how to make authentic tacos and burritos.

My hubby likes ground beef (might just be a man thing) and I like shredded beef.

I personally think everyone needs a truly authentic Mexican Shredded Beef recipe in their repertoire and I've been wanting to make this for a long time.

So I finally made some a few weeks ago and oh my goodness was this the tastiest beef I've ever made.

It is perfect for tacos, tortilla stacks, burritos, etc. And it tasted just like the shredded beef at my favorite restaurant.

Guacamole

I truly believe there is nothing better than homemade guacamole!

I could eat this stuff on just about everything.  It's great on eggs, breakfast casseroles, sandwiches, tacos, burritos, chips!  Should I really go on or do you get the picture?  I think you do.

Guacamole is so easy to make and everyone has their favorite additions so you can always add or remove what you like or don't like.  This is my favorite way of making guacamole.

Chicken Enchilada Soup

I love soup!

I actually eat it all year long, but I especially love soup in the Fall and Winter.

It has turned cold here in California in the last few weeks, well at least cold in the morning and evenings.  The days are still crazy.

But it's definitely soup weather to me!

My daughter and I have been craving some sort of Chicken Tortilla or Chicken Enchilada Soup so this is the one I came up with the other day.

Chili Colorado Burritos

If you don't know by now we LOVE Mexican food around here and could very well eat it every day, well most of us anyway.

I've been dying to try these Chili Colorado Burritos and have seen many variations all over blogland.

These reminded me of a smothered burrito I've seen at restaurants and I'm always in the market for new creations.

This is also a crock pot meal (mostly), which is perfect this time of year, and will be waiting for you to put together when you get home from work or errands.  Then a quick few minutes of prep and these bundles of deliciousness are ready to eat.

Pico de Gallo

Every time I make Mexican food my son asks for Pico de Gallo.

I have a great Fresh Homemade Salsa recipe that I usually keep on hand but he wanted Pico de Gallo.

So this is what I came up with.  It was really good and I'll definitely make it again!

Cheesy Chicken Flautas with Avocado Cream Dipping Sauce

I brought home a couple of rotisserie chickens last week and wanted to make some quick and easy dinners with them.

I wasn't sure what I was going to make when I bought them, but I have a ton of magazines laying around with recipes for meals that include rotisserie chicken.

The first one I made up all by myself :)  Even made a new dipping sauce to go with!

You all know how much I love my Mexican food and I was in the mood for some on this night.  But I didn't want to make the whole spread with rice, beans, and a main course.

Instead I settled for some finger food.

One of my favorite things to order is Flautas and so I thought I'd try my hand at making them at home.

And let me tell you, it was A-MAZ-ING!

Margarita Chicken

A couple of weeks ago I made some amazing Chipotle Marinated Steak for lunch and thought it would be great if there was some chicken to go along with the steak burritos everyone was eating.

Do you have a great chicken marinade?   I certainly didn't.

I usually think of a marinade as Teriyaki but decided my chicken needed something to go along with the steak and what better accompaniment to a Mexican dish than a margarita! 

And so, Margarita Chicken was born.

Chipotle Steak Burritos with Cilantro Lime Rice

Remember when I said I would post these delicious Chipotle Steak Burritos?  Well here they are!

These were made using my Chipotle Marinated Steak recipe which came from Tieghan over at Half Baked Harvest and I will forever be in her debt for sharing this amazing recipe.

Chipotle is my daughters favorite restaurant to go to and there were several weeks in a row a few months back where she ate there almost every day.

Chipotle Marinated Steak

Good after my lovelies!   I have an amazing recipe for you today!

Have you been over to see Tieghan at Half Baked Harvest yet?  You SERIOUSLY need to go visit her blog today!  I dare you to try and not come away with at least 3 new recipes to try.  I could happily spend every day over there and still find more recipes to try!

Last week at my link party Tieghan linked up an amazing recipe for Chipotle Steak Burritos, which coincidentally happen to be my daughters very favorite thing at Chipotle, and I knew I had to give them a try.

Beef & Bean Enchiritos

You have probably guessed by now that we all LOVE Mexican food around here, well except for that crazy man I'm married to!  But seriously, the kids and I could eat it every day and never get tired.

I have always made my Chicken Enchiladas with green sauce and hadn't yet tried any with red sauce, which I don't understand because when I'm out all I usually order is enchiladas with red sauce.

I used to make beef and bean burritos all the time so I thought why not combine my super easy recipe for those with a little red sauce and make them into Enchiritos, you know that wonderful combo of burrito and enchilada.

On the Border Copy-cat Salsa & SRS

It's that time of the month again!  Surprise Recipe Swap is here and boy do I have a great recipe for you!

This month I was assigned Persnickety Plates and if the name alone doesn't reel you in all of Melissa's  wonderful recipes will!  I have already pinned several of Melissa's recipes and follower her on Facebook and Pinterest.  

I was so excited to finally find a homemade salsa recipe via her blog, and couldn't wait to get started making it.  You can find her original recipe here, because you know me and I just had to change it a little bit!

Chicken Enchilada Ring - Recipe Re-do

For those of you who missed this awesome recipe the first time around I'm re-posting it today.

Copy Cat Taco Bell Mexican Pizza

I found this recipe from The Cheerful Madhouse on Pinterest a few months ago for Copy Cat Taco Bell Mexican Pizza's.  Do you remember these?  I never tried them when Taco bell was serving them but my husband remembered them.  He said they were great!  So of course I just had to try them.  I made them for dinner and everybody loved them.  Total Hit!  You need to try them too.  And I'll even come to dinner so I can compare them with mine, okay?
