Mexican.. It's What's For Dinner!

What's for dinner you ask! "Mexican" I say. Mexican soft tacos and fajita style rice. There is nothing better than Mexican comfort food when you're entertaining.

Some friends decided to stop by for dinner tonight and we decided on taco's. The best Mexican tacos are the ones made with the freshest ingredients.Things like, spinach,  fresh garlic, Roma tomatoes, onion and freshly squeezed lime juice.

Tonight, since not all of my friends ere vegetarian, I made beef and salmon tacos. As a side dish, I made fajita rice with a sprinkle of cheese and Pico De Gallo. As usual, no dairy except for the marble cheddar shredded cheese.

I have to say that dinner was quite a hit! These freshly made tacos are quite tasty and very filling.
