Mexican Food Recipes

Hello I need some interesting Mexican food recipes that are fairly easy to cook for a party of 15… I was just thinking of doing the general tacos and burritos but with a flair… Kind of thinking of adding more unusual ingredients, such as pineapples, cilantro, whatnot. Any tried and loved ideas that you would like to share? Thank you very much!!!

Ingredients
nocoupons
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning
1 (16-ounce) bag pre-cooked diced red-skin potatoes
1/2 cup pre-sliced mushrooms
1/3 cup reduced-fat Mexican blend cheese

3/4 cup cilantro salsa, plus more for serving
1 (5.8-ounce) box white corn taco shells
Chopped red onion, tomato, and lettuce, for serving
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil; set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together oil and fajita seasoning. Add potatoes and mushrooms and toss until well coated. Transfer to prepared baking sheet and arrange in a single layer. Sprinkle with cheese and bake for 15 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Meanwhile, stir together beans and salsa in microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel and microwave on HIGH for 3 minutes; set aside.

Heat taco shells in oven for 3 to 5 minutes.

Spoon beans into heated taco shells. Top with potato mixture and garnish with red onion, tomato, and lettuce.
