The kitchen is clean. Tonight is the last night of a week long visit from our two grandsons. Everyone was tired after a trip to the zoo…
So…This seemed like a really good idea.
We always begin with chips and salsa, followed my my usual,the regular Mexican plate (one enchilada, 1 taco, 1 chalupa, rice and beans).
Our grandsons had nachos and the enchilada child’s plate.
As my first participation in Foodie Friday, this may be slightly non-traditional. Taco Ole for us is great food, family, and fun . That seems to be the essence of Foodie Friday, right?
For anyone who would like to try some authentic Mexican food recipes, I have a post in my archives that discusses a wonderful cookbook (see May 2).

Yummy! Looks like the perfect meal to me!
Oh how I love mexican food!
I live in New Mexico and some kind of Mexican food is always on the table. I have a red chile recipe on my blog. Check it out. Geri
I cook with a Mexican style often. We like the many different chili spices, ancho, jalapeno, chipotle to name a few.
We don't have any good Mexican style restaurants where we live.
Oh, you're killling me with the picture of the chips and salsa! I so wanted mexican food for supper tonight, but my daughter insisted on chinese food.
a perfect south TX foodie for sure!
Laura, after two grandsons at the zoo all day, I'd have gone to taco ole too! Actually, we ate Mexican out tonight. Chimichanga - that's what I always get. :)
That sure puts that taco that I had from taco bell today to shame lol .. I think I know what's on the menu tomorrow night!
Thanks for the delish pics.
Hugs,

Looks good except for the refired beans. Can eat them, but not crazy about them. After a day at the zoo, I would not have cooked either.

We do love Mexican food too. When my daughter visits from New York City, that's the first place she wants to go. Target is her #2 request.
We have some really good Mexican food in Chicsgo, the best being of course, in hispanic neighborhoods. I'm not much of a Mexican food cook either, maybe I should take a look at your post & the cookbook.
Sounds like you had a wonderful ending to a wonderful week with those kids!! It may be a little too quiet now! ;-)

Looks wonderful!
Great Laura, I'm reading this Thursday night {almost midnight} and now I'm craving Taco Bell...pondering if I should get out this late or not! ;) Those pictures are mouth watering!
Now since the kiddies are gone, does this mean it's rest time for you???? ;)
Have a great weekend~
everything vintage
My kind of meal...especially when you don't feel like cooking! I can eat Mexican anytime.

I'm so glad you've joined us. I'm sure the boys loved that last meal before going home. That's one of the cleanest kitchens I've ever seen:-). Have a wonderful day.
Love, love, love Mexican. Eat it at least once a week.
Works for me! I am always exhausted by day's end with the grandchildren:) Plus I'd rather spend my time playing than cooking.Beginning August 5, I will be hosting Crock Pot Wednesdays at Diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com, and I hope you will join me. THERE WILL BE PRIZES:)!!!
Nothing is better than Mexican food! That looked delicious and I wish I could grab some off the screen and sample it. Happy Foodie Friday!
Seeing these delicious photos isn't helping with my ever spreading derrier....
YUMM-OH We don't have many great mexican rest. here-bummer!!!
