Fun, good Tex-Mex on 30?

[Smiling JOe]

Any recipes? If you are what you eat, we'd be Tex-Mex because we normally go out for it (only 2 miles away) about twice a week. When I cook Tex-Mex at home, I typically make tacos with the Old El Paso shells and seasoning because it's easy, but it's not as good as at a Tex-Mex restaurant. The only great successes that I've had making Mexican food is using my daughter's salsa and chicken taco recipes that I've posted before. That's the limit of my repertoire. Oh, and the Gordo's cheese dip that Publix carries is good.

So some easy recipes would be nice!

I don't use many recipes, I just wing it, doing it differently every time, although I do have a good recipe for Shreded Chix Tortilla Soup somewhere.
Here is a LaPaz menu item -- Barbecued Shrimp Quesadilla. Easy to make and delicious! Just make the usual quesadilla and sautee some shrimp for the meat. Top off with barbecue sauce, quac, and sour creme. I still use cumin, chili powder, and garlic to season the peppers.

Me too. I should have turned into salsa by now. I put it on everything! The best I've found is Jack's Special. It's amazing.

I buy chihuahua cheese (extremely hard to find) chop up some jalepenos and stir in some milk.


I might have Mexican for lunch now I'm so hungry.

We're all stil missing Luna del Mar. Lately I've enjoyed La Rumba in Destin. It's on the north side of 98 where Corky's BBQ used to be. Lots of SoWallers go to Coco's on 98, but I haven't been there.

I like La Ramba too. I judge a mexican place on the cheese dip and i think La Rumba beats Coco's

I gotta disagree with you here! love my coco's cheese dip... yummy!!!!!!!! I just didn't like La Ramba in general.

but I do agree with you on how to judge a mexican place: I look for cheese dip, salsa, tortillas and margaritas, and also chile rellenos. in that order.

Thanks for the tips!
