Does anyone have a flyer / invitation that they use for a mexican theme party. I'm doing the taco ring & homemade salsa at a party at the end of the month and wanted to do up a theme related flyer / invitation

Thanks for the help.
 
I've used this in the past, but I would tweak a little. It should be a good start though. Hope that helps!

If you search in the files here I think there is a Margarita Party one that I always use (it draws a big attendance too :-)

thanks:thumbup: Thanks - - that looks great and I'll be able to tweak it.
 
I'm doing one of these at the end of the month as well...any cool games you play with this theme? We're calling ours a "Nacho" Ordinary Party!
 
not sure if you have something picked out or not, for cooking wise. but I've been doing the Chicken Enchilada Ring, and that has been a HUGE hit! I have a modified version, as I have found the recipe from PC isn't as good. I need to get it from home, but let me know if you're interested.
 
At my parties, the margarita's usually provide the entertainment :-)!!!
 
I'd love to see your modified chicken enchilada ring recipe!!

And, do you do the margarita's in the quick stir pitcher?
 
Or the Family Burrito from a few seasons back -- great recipe and shows well!
 
Modified Chicken Enchilada Ring Recipe:

Chicken Enchilada Ring

2 C. coarsely chopped chicken
1 C. shredded Monterey Jack/Cheddar blend
1/2 C. sour cream
1 T. Southwestern Seasoning Mix
1 plum tomatoes
1 lime
2/3 cup finely crushed tortilla chips
2 pkgs. crescent rolls
3/4 C. salsa

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Mix chopped chicken, cheese, salsa, sour cream, chips and seasoning mix in bowl. Slice lime in half. Juice one half of lime to measure 1 t. of juice. Reserve remaining lime for garnish. Add lime juice to chicken mixture. Mix well.

Separate dough into triangles. Arrange triangles in a circle on a 13" baking stone. Wide ends should overlap in the center and points should be toward the outside. There should be a 5" diameter opening in the center.

Scoop chicken mixture onto the wide ends of the triangles. Bring points of the triangles up over filling and tuck under wide ends. Do not cover filling completely. It should show in between each triangle.

Bake 20-22 minutes or until golden brown.

For garnish, cut remaining tomato into 8 wedges. Cut remaining half of lime into 4 slices, cut in half. Arrange between openings of ring where filling is showing. Serve with salsa and sour cream.
 
I add garlic and cilantro to mine and it really adds a lot! I think i have done that recipe well over 100 times!!
