Strange, I live in New Mexico, and completely forgot about this holiday. Usually there are some pretty big events here, I guess I haven't been paying attention.

Shrimp with chipotle sauce, a shrimp enchilada in a heavy white sauce of some kind, r&bs, and about a basket of chips with the hottest salsa seen around here in a long time. I just couldn't stop eating! :biggrin:

I love Mexican food about as much as any... once did and could again live on nothing but tacos.

I prefer flautas and fajitas de carne, pollo, o puerco y con chorizo, with guacamole and washed down with Negro Modelo.

I love chorizo! There is nothing like chorizo and eggs on warmed flour tortillas dipped in a hot salsa, for breakfast.
