Margaritas, Mexican Food & Moms


Yes, I know that Cinco de Mayo was yesterday, but this Mom could have a margarita and a Mexican meal any day of the year. So for Mother's Day, I present some marvelous Mexican dishes and drinks that will spice up any mom's day.

Blood Orange Margarita
I have made margs with blood oranges several times. Besides being delicious, they are so vibrant in color. You feel as if you are having a fiesta!

Mexican Shrimp Cocktail
At first glance I thought this was a loaded Bloody Mary. Add tequila and then we could call it a drunken shrimp cocktail!

Chicken Street Tacos With Mango Slaw
A crunchy, sweet, tangy lime-mango slaw take these chicken street tacos over the top!

Banana Leaf Grilled Fish with Coconut-Cilantro Sauce
What an impressive platter! The banana leaf imparts a slightly sweet and grassy flavor to the fish. Since this recipe is grilled, they also protect the fish while it is cooking. 

Watermelon Margaritas
These chic cocktails are proof that presentation is everything! These are fresh, sweet, and made in a blender.

The Best Shrimp Tacos
Fresh and delicious with a slightly spicy avocado crema. I think I will try this.

Chicken Taco Soup
What a perfect soup to make anytime, but especially on a rainy spring day. This soup is topped off with cheese quesadilla croutons. YUM!

Shrimp and Chorizo Mixed Grill
The creamy dipping sauce sounds divine.
Epicurious

Pink Champagne Strawberry Margaritas
Pink champagne adds a festive flair to these margaritas! Yes, please!

Sun Dried Tomato Bacon Guacamole
I love making a good thing even better by switching up ingredients. This recipe is filled with sweet, salty, and tangy texture.

Tres Leches Cake
The name of this cake means three milks. And true to the name, three different types of milk get poured over this butter cake. Serve it chilled with lots of whipped cream. Love the individual servings.

Instant Pot Mexican Rice
A true Mexican meal will always have a rice dish. This one looks better than most. It's all about the colorful ingredients!

Sweet Potato and Black Bean Mexican Salad
Here's an easy colorful, and healthy salad. Roasted sweet potatoes are a good duo with the veggies. Opposites attract. It can be topped off with a yummy creamy avocado dressing.

72 Handmade Tamales
You guys, these are delicious, and make the best gift. Send them to mom for your next family affair. My extended family loved them over the holidays.

Spiked & Spicy Mexican Mocha Ice Cream 
Finding this recipe on a sushi blog was a shock. If you love coffee ice cream, you will adore this recipe. It's infused with tequila!!

Easy Skillet Chicken Tinga Enchiladas
To quote Tieghan, the recipe author: "The most delicious smells, a bubbly sauce, and melty cheese await you as you pull this out of the oven."

Create A Fajita Bar
Now this is a fiesta! Your guests will love helping themselves with this array of Mexican meats, veggies, cheese and dips. Lots of inspiration.

Jorge's Green Chilaquiles 
This is a dish I have never tried, let alone made. Chilaquiles are made of crispy corn tortillas cooked in red or green salsa. This recipe features a new twist. Click through to learn more.

Williams Sonoma Margarita Mixes
Get some of these for Mom or your own next party. With flavors like Coconut Lime, Skinny Pineapple, Prickly Pear Lime (oh so good) these mixes turn any cocktail hour into a celebration!

Firecracker Berry Margarita Floats
An all American cocktail that is part drink and the best part dessert. But why wait until the 4th, when you can enjoy this right now?
