The best version of a taco comes from the Taco Pizza. This isn't just any pizza, it's an institution where I grew up. The original blog, linked here, Happy Joe's Taco Pizza, is one of my most popular ever. People move away and crave this stuff. I encourage you to try it, I promise it is unlike any taco pizza you have ever eaten! And don't get fancy. There is a reason this is so popular. But you know I make my mad money on cookies. Lots of them. So here are a few themed cookies perfect for the 5th of May!
It's an excellent time to plan a shower. Instant theme, super colorful and an abundance of great food that people can bring! These were made for a girlfriend's party, and we watched the rain come down all day. And miraculously at 5pm, the sun popped out! It was a tiny bit humid, but no rain!!!
These were also a wedding shower, but it took place on St. Patrick's Day. Funny right? But the Irish food theme can only go so far, and the green beer could be problematic. I'd much rather decorate with piñatas! And eat fajitas!
This is my go to salsa. I love this stuff. It's delicious on a corn chip, but also great on fish, grilled steak, a beef fajita, or on a spoon. You can alter the heat with jalepeños, and add anything that might be hanging out in your crisper!
Salsa of the Tropics
2 Mangoes, pitted, peeled, diced
4 Roma Tomatoes, seeded, diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1 red onion, diced
1 large clove garlic, minced
5 small jalepeños, or to taste, diced
1 teaspoon cumin
generous shakes Crystal Hot Sauce
4 Tablespoons Sherry vinegar
2 Tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper
fresh chopped parsley (it calls for cilantro, but hey, I'm a Petitti!)
2 fresh limes, zested and juiced
Toss everything together and you are good to go! If it is going to be chilled for a long period of time, you'll want to make sure your olive oil doesn't get hard in the fridge. Some less expensive brands tend to do that.
