Need ideas for good and fast Mexican food?

We're having a few people over this upcoming weekend and are planning on serving mexican food. I usually make enchaladas and shredded chicken tacos, but am looking for a few quick and easy appitizer type ideas that might be a little "out of the box". Anyone have any good recomendations?|||Taco salad is a good party pleaser. You drain and season (mexican style) hamburger, then add them to tricked out salad ingredients, crumble some tortilla chips or nacho cheese doritos, add that, and toss it all together in a big bowl. Dressing choices on the side would include ranch, taco sauce, some like French or catalina.





Quesadillas are easy. You can prep the meat ahead of time.





Hot and spicy potato wedges? Rub them in lime juice, dip them in flour seasoned with chili powder, cumin, and salt, then deep fry them.





You can do hot and spicy cornbread...homemade or mix, sweet or unsweet, then drain a can of rotel (one can per two mixes of cornbread) some precooked bacon crumbles, and a couple handfuls of frozen corn to the batter. Bake with a light sprinkle of cheese on top. A variation is to deep fry these for hushpuppies.





You can also do lime sorbet for dessert...or a fruit salad spiked with wine, kind of like sangria you eat.|||I love tostados, and everything on them. refried beans with chorizo, sour cream, cheese, jalapenos, etc. they are great with refried beans and shrimp, or ceviche too!|||fried icecream and beer.|||I guess a very famous dish is "Pozole" and it's also very easy to do. You put chicken in a deep pot (legs, thighs, breast,etc.)


You put like 2 liters of water(maybe more), 5-10 cloves of garlic, and 陆onion. You put it on medium heat for 30 min. Then you add 1 cube of chicken flavor bouillon and salt to the taste. You add a can of Mexican Style hominy ( 6lb 9oz). Let it cook for another 30 minutes. At this time you may add more water it its to dry. When ready, you serve on a deep bowl. you may add avocado, lettuce or cabbage, raddish. We like to eat them with tostadas. Hope you like it.
