I love entertaining and some of my favorite dinner menus includes anything Mexican. I entertained the other evening and I prepared these delicious Tomatillo Shrimp Enchiladas for our friends (tacos for the kids!). They were really good and I was even lucky enough to have my friend Jill bring dessert. Jill is always the friend that has the most creative recipes. Honestly, I have probably said this before, but if you go to eat at her house, you come out of there wanting the recipe for everything she made! She knew that I was making Mexican food so she decided to keep with the theme.
Do I have the greatest friends or what? They just know me so well! 🙂
She made this delicious banana cream cake and brought some fresh fruit. With the fruit, she made this wonderfully creamy, tangy dip called Margarita Dip. (See the theme here…:)
It really tasted like a margarita-how could you go wrong with that?-but it was family friendly, containing no alcohol at all. It was delicious and perfect for spring and summer entertaining. With the delicious array of fruit she brought, dipped in this dip, you just couldn’t get enough.
If you are looking for something fresh and different to entertain or just for a healthy snack or dessert on a hot summer day-this is the recipe for you! Thanks Jill-this one is a keeper!
