Dinner Tonight

Easy Entertaining Idea Tonight-

Burrito Bar
Green Salad
Chips
Guacamole
Your favorite Adult beverage
Ice Cream Sundaes for dessert

Tonight's dinner is a great for easy entertaining. You can make what I call a "burrito bar". This is a serve-yourself-style way of dining. This makes an easy, casual summer get together with friends, family, or groups without a lot of fuss.

Everything can be cooked or heated on the grill, this way you avoid messing up the kitchen. All the ingredients can be made ahead and stored in plastic containers. Some you can buy prepared (shredded lettuce and cheese). Make this a fun night and have a burrito bar party. The skies the limit on how many people this will feed.


Burritos- build your own

• Meat- shredded, cubed, or ground
  
• Beans
• Cheese
• Lettuce
• Tomatoes
• Green onions
• Jalepenos
• Rice
• Black Olives sliced
  
• Potato Chunks
• Avocado
• Salsa
• Pico D Gallo
• Sour Cream

Meat- any kind of meat you like.

Beans- Refried, black, or pinto beans are all good choices

Tortillas- Whole wheat handmade tortillas from Trader Joes are awesome! They are much healthier than the standard white flour ones.

Having a tossed green salad on the side adds crunch to the meal.

Guacamole- there is a debate on what makes good guacamole. My personal favorite is VERY simple. Mashed avocados, salt, and a dash of garlic powder....done!

If you want to make it go further, you can start adding things like sour cream, tomatoes, onions, etc. Its a personal taste thing.

Chips- Get good tortilla chips, like the kind you would find in a Mexican Restaurant. Heat them up for extra crunch and freshness.
