Dinner tonight, Mexican themed buffet.

[flamin lib]

Six people, family & friend. I have a little bit of several things and thought I'd serve it buffet style.

Texas Red, tamales, venison fajitas (w onions & bell peppers), guacamole, pico de gallo, salsa (red and green) and green salad. Both flour and corn tortillas as well as chips for dipping. Might add chicken tortilla soup as well.

Haven't planned a desert yet, will probably involve ice cream, and need inspiration for a TexMex type salad dressing. Any help out there?

2. What time and where?

Mexican is my favorite, favorite food. I looked for a salad dressing recipe and found this at Cook's (with posters recommendation):

Mexican Salad Dressing

1 med. onion, chopped in blender
2/3 c. sugar
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. celery seed
3 tsp. prepared mustard
1/3 c. vinegar
1 c. Mazola oil

Mix all ingredients well in blender and store in refrigerator. This is the best sweet sour salad dressing I ever tasted.

5. A spicy/ chipotle ranch dressing.

Buttermilk or yogurt based would be good.

I put sourcream in my guacamole.
