Cinco de Mayo

Being from the Bay Area Eddie and I are used to being able to get GOOD Mexican food. . . However since moving to Utah we haven't found one Mexican restaurant that fits the flavor we are used to and looking for.

For Cinco de Mayo yesterday we both had high expectations of what we wanted and that's exactly what we got

    1. The Chips are SUPER easy . . .I tried this one night after seeing it on Food Network and been doing it ever since . . .keep in mind they get crunchier as they cool down so they may not look/feel as crunchy as you want when they first get out of the oven (I totally messed this up the first time I made them). . . the first time you make them give the chips about 5 minutes to cool down after being in the oven then adjust cooking temp for your tastes for your next batch on
