I'd say with the Mexican Rice to put a little appetizer with it. A little vegetables and fruit would do it. Well, tortillas go well too. Cheesy. Ooh. Gosh. I feel that I'm actually eating that cheese in it. :)

I think your Mexican holiday is just wonderful. I tried all the receipts and created a holiday one boring weekend and invited my daughter whose up at college (May 5 she graduates) and some of her friends to celebrate grad. Went great and it was so easy. Thank you A plus plus plus is my rating.

The best way to cook fajitas is on the grill. I agree with the Marinade, but disagree with the wok. Simply half or quarter the onions and peppers and cook them in a grill basket. Slice the meat and vegies up after grilling. The recipie as discribed is more of a MooShoo fajita.

I grew up eating these Indian and Pakistani dishes. I like to share some important info here. Please be careful when using the Asian spices because a little goes a long way when it comes to spices like turmeric, garlic and ginger. They among others, are best when taken in small quantities. I love the samosa recipe, i will try to make some with my daughters over the weekend!

not as good as what i was raised on but for a quik fixin it will work, on the Guacamole try this instead! Use a red onion and on the Tomato, SMOKE it on the pit fro about 15-30 mins, adds a greeat smoke flavor toit. Just my two cents!!

Take some of the Mexican cheese or goat cheese then melt it with the chorizo or mushrooms for a delightful appetizer.

...for the guac, try adding garlic powder to taste. also, if i don't want to have the chile pieces in the actual guacamole, i put a little juice from the jarred jalapeno peppers in it..it adds the flavor without the spiciness [for those who prefer non spicy]

My mexican rice: I toast the raw rice in a frying pan w/no oil...toast till brown. Add 1-2 TBSP oil, chopped onion & garlic salt and cumin. Sautee and add your whole tomatoes or tomato sauce (about 1/2 can) and add your water or chicken broth. Season with salt & pepper and let boil 10-15 minutes. Cover and simmer till rice is done. Do not open till it is done. Good luck.

9. On the Mexican rice my mom would always add peas to it. Of course it's optional but it really does taste good! I've never heard of adding green peppers.... Every family has a different version of Mexican rice. We just love it in our family!!! Happy "Cinco de Mayo"! Lucita

Cinco the mayo doesn't mean anything in Mexico, only here. The information posted here about That battle is wrong. Also, Mexican rice doesn't call for green pepper. that's too sweet.

Sounds more like a stir fry then Fajitas. That's not how you make fajitas or Guacamole.

Wow......these all sound yummy.. and the guac. is exactly as I make it ....and it is great. I usually serve the fajitas with sides of sour cream, salsa, and slices of avocado and let each person make their own and add whatever they want. great recipes......thanks

Yeah, the fajitas should definitely be grilled, and I don't think it's really necessary to marinate the onions & peppers, either.

When making mexican rice I brown the rice before adding the onion and garlic i also add a teaspoon or so of Chicken base instead of salt then tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes for color and flavor and enough water to cover rice and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes do not stir rice it turns mushy when you do.
