Mexican Corn Dip
"This is one of my very favorite dips. It's kind of addicting! Every time I take it somewhere, I am asked for the recipe. It's a little hot, but I don't think it is near as good without that little spicy bite." - Connie
Crab Appetillas
"An easy and delicious crab appetizer. Cream cheese makes the filling creamy and gives it a little tang. Crabmeat gives the rolls a fresh seafood taste. Mixed together with green onions and celery, it makes the best filling. We love that these are prepared ahead of time." - The Kitchen Crew
Mexican Street Corn Fritters
"All of the flavours of Mexican street corn (elote) in crispy, golden brown, bite sized fritters!" - Kevin
Kickin' Guacamole
"This is the best guacamole I have ever tried. If you like your guacamole with a little kick, this is the one for you. Serve it some chips or add to your taco salad." - Missy
Mini Mexican Taco Bites
"These little bites will go very quickly. It'll be best to make a double batch." - Angie
Meaty Queso Blanco Dip
"This Meaty Queso Blanco Dip is super easy to make in the slow cooker. This queso is so hearty and flavorful you will not be able to stop dipping." - Debbie
Spicy Guacamole With Corn
"My super-secret guacamole recipe was just too good not to share. This is a foolproof recipe, and the simple ingredients are very flavorful." - Shikha
Jalapeno Deviled Eggs
"These Jalapeño Deviled Eggs are so creamy and absolutely delicious! Super simple to make. In under twenty minutes you will have a superb appetizer to serve anytime." - Cathy
Fajita Dip
"Next time you're going to make a seven layer again, think again. Try this fantastic fajita dip. The fajita seasoning mixed with chopped chicken and veggies really tastes like fajitas from a Mexican restaurant. A cool and creamy cream cheese layer adds an element of tanginess to the dip." - The Kitchen Crew
Creamy Green Chile Queso
"Spicy and cheesy my Creamy Green Chile Queso is easy to make, tastes great and is always the first to go at parties!" - Paula
Fresh Tomato Salsa
"You'll never want bottled salsa again after trying this fresh salsa recipe. Add or subtract the number of jalapenos depending on your degree of spice tolerance. We loved the fresh taste that lime juice and cilantro add to this easy salsa." - The Kitchen Crew
Mexican Gorditas (Little Fat Ones) (Gorditas Rellenas)
"Each time I make gorditas, I can still picture my grandmother making these little fat corn masa pattie cakes. These gorditas are favorite Mexican street food. Crisp on the outside and soft and tender within. These savory little pattie cakes are a great base for all types of toppings from pulled pork to shredded chicken, salsa, sour cream or crema Mexicana to chorizo with minced onion, queso fresco, and salsa." - Juliann
Mexican Pinwheels
"This is a great appetizer to bring to a party because the hostess does not have to worry about baking or heating it. Besides, they taste really good." - Thea
