Forget your Siesta, it’s Time to FIESTA

We love any excuse to celebrate the culture and food of Mexico. Our team has selected their all-time favorite Mexican recipes to help you kick off the party, but we could eat these flavorful dishes all year long. Olé!

Get your grill ready, if you haven’t yet. Odessa’s Beef Fajitas are a crowd pleaser and grilling imparts flavor without adding calories!

Elaine’s Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas will melt in your mouth. Turn on the crock pot in the morning and throw in as much spice as you dare. Boom, dinner’s ready. What could be easier?

Julie’s Shrimp Tacos with Watermelon Salsa are just right for a warm weather menu, and super quick to prepare. Watermelon provides an unexpected pop of color.

Even die-hard meat eaters will appreciate these Spinach Quesadillas by Hannah, which are made with corn tortillas and cooked in a skillet.
