If you haven’t guessed by now I love Mexican Food! I can eat it everyday! One of my favorite Mexican dishes are chicken tacos. I love them wrapped in fresh warm flour tortillas. The chicken filling is real easy to make, if you’re pinched for time you can even use taco seasoning packets to give it that Mexican flavor. But I like to make it from scratch and sometimes I experiment a bit with the ingredients. Recently I came up with these Margarita Chicken Tacos, they are delicious!
What makes these Margarita Chicken Tacos different is that the chicken is marinated in, you guessed it, tequila and lime juice; hence the name Margarita Chicken Tacos! They really are easy to make and are too yummy!
I marinate the chicken about an hour before I sauté it. I serve it fresh wrapped in warm flour tortillas and topped with chopped cilantro, cheese, sour cream, and salsa. It’s a complete meal in a tortilla.
Here’s the recipe. I hope you’ll love it as much as we do.
Ingredients:
8 Pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs – cut into cubes
Fruit Cocktail is a mixture of preserved or fresh fruits cut into pieces and served as an appetizer or dessert, its is also called “Fruit Cup”. Seasonal fruit and a simple syrup form the basis of this fresh-tasting treat. It is a terrific topping for ice cream or a perfect finish to a light meal.
We often serve fruit cocktail at birthday’s, wedding parties, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and Festivals.

We just discovered that my 13 year old grandson loves to cook! Not only does he loves to cook, he does it very well. He recently tried out his culinary skills by making us these very delicious Steak Flautas!
What are flautas? They’re also called taquitos, tacos dorados, or rolled tacos. Basically they are a small tortilla rolled up with a filling. Whatever you call them they are very tasty and are one of my favorite Mexican dishes.
Flautas can be filled with shredded chicken, ground or shredded beef, pulled pork, beans, or cheese. They can be served as appetizers or a main dish depending on the size.
Dion used ribeye to make these Steak Flautas. The filling is tender and tasty. Served with Spanish rice and refried beans thes Steak Flautas make a great meal!
The recipe for Steak Flautas is Dion’s own creation. He didn’t follow a recipe, he simply made it up as he went. And I have to say they turned out very well! He even garnished them with chopped cilantro because according to him presentation matters! I do believe we have a budding chef in the family!
