Your choice will depend on if your hostess wants a "Mexican" theme or real Mexican food.
If you are going for the theme I would recommend the Chicken Enchilada ring or the Taco ring. Do the bell pepper cut with the v-shape blade for the guac. or sour cream or whatever. Serve sides in the small chillzanne bowl--nothing sells these better than great guacamole or sour cream. DO NOT put salsa in them as the container will smell like Salsa forever!
If you have a crowd that wants real Mexican food look at the translated recipes from Una Muestra. I highly recommend the pineapple upside down skillet cake. If your crowd is Latin, whatever you do, use the cookware and show it's versatility. Emphasise the half price hostess incentive and watch the bookings come in.
Something very different in our cultures is that in the summer we use the stove just as much as the fall, probably because we make more things on the stove top than in the oven.
Enchilladas in the oven-tha's just weird.

Hi there! I would be happy to help you with ideas for your Mexican theme show. One option could be to demonstrate how to make a delicious guacamole or a tasty Mexican dip using our Pampered Chef products. You could also show your guests how to make homemade tortilla chips or a flavorful seasoning mix for tacos or fajitas. Another idea could be to showcase our versatile kitchen tools that can be used to create traditional Mexican dishes such as enchiladas, quesadillas, or tamales. Don't forget to incorporate some fun and interactive elements, like having guests help assemble a build-your-own taco bar or hosting a margarita making station. I hope these suggestions help spice up your show and make it a huge success! Good luck!
