Tortilla Party!

My friend Megan recently received a giant box of Tortilla Land tortillas to sample. 


Since these were fresh tortillas, she knew that there was no way that she would be able to go through them quickly enough so she decided to throw...a tortilla party!  Everyone brought a lot of different side dishes that fit with the tortilla theme.  Here are some photos of all of these fantastic eats:

I made my Spicy Roasted Salsa.

Cheese Nachos

Bianca's guacamole

Grilled tortillas.

Meghan's Tomato and Corn Salad

Deep-Fried Tortilla Strips

Alicia's veggies were a great filling for veggie quesadillas.

Megan made these fantastic chimichangas filled with chicken adobo.

We also had to have margaritas to help wash down these delicious eats.  I picked up a bottle of Skinnygirl Margaritas.  It was definitely a little mellow compared to typical margaritas but I really liked it.



They were nothing, however, compared to Christine's spicy guava margaritas!



Of course, Megan wouldn't have a party without dessert.  She whipped up this fantastic margarita cheesecake which had the most awesome pretzel crust. 



I have been in my own little world lately since I've started my new job so it was really great catching up with everyone.  Thanks again to Megan for hosting this get-together!

Megan also sent us all off with some of our own packages of tortillas.  I'm definitely looking forward to cooking up a lot of different dishes in the next few weeks incorporating the tortillas.

I'd love to hear some of your ideas on how to use these tortillas in a creative way!

Everything about that meal looks so amazing!!! I love making my own tortilla chips with fresh tortillas. Sometimes I go spicy with chili powder, other times sweet with cinnamon and sugar. Great way to use them up when they start to go stale!
