Dips
We had J's birthday festivities today. We went with a Mexican theme for food. So we served grilled chicken fajitas and ground beef for tacos. Then set up all the fixins for everyone to make their own.

All finished and ready to eat.
I also made a couple of dips to snack on before dinner was ready.
My GF Brit gave me this recipe...
MexiCorn Dip
2 Cans of MexiCorn
1 sm. can of chopped green chilis
16 oz. sour cream
1 1/4 C of mayo
2-3 C of shredded cheddar
Garlic Salt to taste
Chopped jalapenos are optional for an added lick. (I do not add these)
Mix all ingredients, chill and serve with Fritos Corn Chips
Now this yummy recipe I got from a very dear friend of mine who is an amazing Midwife and Mother. And once you try this salsa, you will agree she is a great cook as well.
Bean and Corn Salsa
3 tbsp. lime juice (or 2 small fresh squeezed limes)
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
½ tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. salt
1 (15oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed. (I used 1 can of corn)
1 medium tomato diced.
8 thin green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
½ tsp. ground cumin
¼ tsp. salt
1 (15oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed. (I used 1 can of corn)
1 medium tomato diced.
8 thin green onions, sliced (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Combine lime juice, vinegar, cumin and salt in a large bowl; stir to mix well. Add beans, corn, green onions and cilantro; stir to mix well. Before serving add in tomato. Serve immediately or refrigerate overnight.
