I've heard alot of consultants on various training CDs in the last year talk about the Mexican Margarita show. It sounds like a good one to have on hand. I actually thought about because one of my potential hosts is taking her GRE in March...I was thinking about proposing the Margarita theme idea to her to unwind after her show :D (We haven't set a show date yet...she works full time, and part-time as a exercise instructor, and now this test.)

So is there somewhere I can get info on this theme?

Also, does anyone have the Taco Ring recipe or know if we have it in any current books or past Season's Best? I do not have the "Main Dishes" book that the CC says it is in.

THanks!!

Do you have All the Best? It's in there too. However, what I make for my Margarita parties is fajitas -- they are actually Fajitas and Margaritas parties for me. I do the fajitas in the DCB, the one bowl salsa with the salad choppers and margaritas in the QSP. The margaritas are 1 corona, 2 cans 7-up, 1 can frozen limeade concentrate and 8 oz. tequila -- soooo yummy! I did these for all of my February shows and have been salivating over them all month! Tonight I finally made some for me! I mean, I've made it a lot for us, but I've been craving it this month!

These are really great shows -- I sell a lot of DCB's, salad choppers and QSP's.

I don't have All the Best, but my friend does. I can borrow it from her until I can get my own copy. I'll have to try that Margarita recipe.
 
Just looked under files here and found the taco ring, about a dozen times!

Taco Ring
1/2 lb. cooked ground beef
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 Tbs water
2 8oz pkg crescent roll dough
1 med green pepper
1/2 head lettuce, shredded
1 med tomato, diced
1 small onion, diced
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1 cup salsa
Sour cream

Heat oven to 375. Combine meat, taco mix, cheese, and water. Arrange crescent triangles in a circle with bases overlapping and points out on the 13" stone, leaving a 5" circle in center. Spoon meat on triangle bases. Fold points over meat and tuck under. Bake 20-25 min until brown. Cut off the top of the pepper (using PC V-shaped cutter). Fill pepper with salsa and place in center of ring. Mound lettuce, tomato, onions, and olives around pepper. Garnish with sour cream.
Serves 8.
 
And, definitely try the margaritas! I got the recipe from here, of course! Sooooo yummy!

Darn...I'm sorry. I had looked under the "Recipes" section, not the Files. WHOOPS!Thank you for posting though! I will definitely be trying these. A girl in my cluster raved about it when she first started as a consultant.

Corona as in beer? This sounds so simple! I would love to here how you do that recipe in the DCB, too. All those recipes together sounds fantastic for a party!

The Taco Ring is an excellent choice. In fact I fixed it for (3) shows in February upon their request. I, too, needed the recipe so I just googled it under Pampered Chef' taco ring and it came up. I would send it to you, but I don't have a scanner. Try that. If you still can't get it, I'll type it out for you.
Thanks,
Jeannie

Wow did you create this on you own? I am making this for dinner tonight for practice for my show I have on Saturday. Been looking for something else rather thant the taco ring and this looks yummo!

I was thinking about the new chicken tacos on the front of the seasons best and not sure about the cumin seasoning.

Thanks again for the recipe!
