Arriba!
I love making Mexican food just because Matt turns into a comical Mexican character the entire time we’re cooking & eating.
Lots of finger tambourine gestures and “Aye aye aye aye!”
DIY Mexican has been a staple in our house recently because it allows us to customize our plates. I tend to go lower on all the cheese & beans while Matt can pile his tostadas/tacos/burritos as much as humanly possible.
We started by making the wonton cups following the recipe here.
I assembled all the fixings: taco seasoned faux beef, refried beans heated up with a splash of hot sauce, green onions, sour cream and shredded cheese.
There may have been a margarita involved.
{If you haven’t tried Crystal Light’s mocktails yet do so immediately}
Pile all ingredients into wonton cups (we made our cups ahead of time and they were perfectly delicious cold!)
Best part of Mexican? Leftovers!
i LOVE homemade mexican food! i always feel so much better when i eat it at home v. going out. i tend to overdo the chips in restaurants and it ruins my whole meal! :)
Lol – endless chips + dip plus 500+ calorie Margaritas are very hard to resist when eating out!
We love Mexican food in our house too! Love that you guys really get into it with the “aye aye aye’s”. Do you wear a sombrero too? ;)
Well from now on we’ll have to wear a sombrero! Maybe we should dress in theme every time we cook? Oh what amazing photos that would make :)
These look so tasty! They make a great appetizer for a party. Homemade is the way to go when it comes to taco shells!
Ohhh these would make a great alternative to the traditional bean dip appetizer! Now I want to throw a DIY Mexican food party!
I love Mexican but always eat too many chips and salsa when we go out for it. These cups are a
Better alternative and much healthier!
Absolutely! The wonton wrappers are only 20 calories each so I justify eating a few of them :)
