My Symphony Seasonings Fiesta Blend

Do you and your family do special themed food nights around your house?  It’s a thrifty way to mix up and spice up family dinner time.  This week, whether you are celebrating Cinco De Mayo, Taco Night

Whether you are hosting a large group of friends for Cinco de Mayo, famil for Taco Tuesday, a Mexican themed party for adults or just wanting to turn any occasion into a fiesta, My Symphony Seasonings has gathered a few easy recipes and hosting ideas to share with you.

Simple Mexican Themed Party Hosting Tips & Ideas:

  • Provide flour & corn tortillas as well as large leaf lettuce in order to cover all dietary needs. Need to avoid gluten? Opt for corn tortillas. Trying to eat less carbs? Use large leaf lettuce to wrap your taco ingredients.
  • If you are serving chips with these dip recipes, display them in a sombrero.
  • Write the names of your dishes/dips/condiments directly onto your disposable tablecloth.
  • Fill the bottom of a stacking dish with ice to keep items like cheese & sour cream fresh.
  • Don’t forget to add mariachi music to your play list or if you are hosting family movie night, Disney Pixar’s Coco.
  • Get everyone involved in dancing to the Macarena! Assign the job to someone ahead of time so they can learn the dance and teach it at your soiree.
  • Looking for a great homemade margarita mix?  Check out these instructions from Nellie Bellie!

Fiesta Party Ideas

Simply delicious Mexican Themed Party Food:

Black Bean dip

Ingredients:

1 Can Black Beans

½ Cup Salsa

1 ½ teaspoon My Symphony Seasonings’ fiesta spice blend

*Optional but delightful: Finish off with Lime Juice or Lime Infused Olive Oil

Directions:

Rinse and drain the beans. Combine all of the ingredients and mash with a fork or blend with your food processor/blender until you achieve your desired consistency: smooth for a dip or slightly blended for taco/tortillas, etc. This recipe is a perfect dip for chips, but it is equally delicious with feta/cojito cheese & spinach on corn tortillas for a delicious taco or in a flour tortilla with cheese & shredded chicken for a quesadilla!

Fiesta Taco Seasoning Mix

Guacamole

Ingredients:

3 Avocados

1 Can Rotel

1 Tablespoon My Symphony Seasonings’ fiesta spice blend

1 Lime-zested & juiced

*Optional but delightful: Finish off with Lime Infused Olive Oil

Directions for Other Mexican Themed Party Dips:

Drain the can of Rotel removing as much liquid as possible. Spoon the flesh out of the avocado peel and into a bowl with the Rotel. Zest and juice the lime right into the bowl then gently mix in the seasoning and finish with the infused olive oil. Serve as a dip with your favorite chips or layer onto your salad, quesadillas, taco, eggs, soup, etc.
