Today we had a family birthday party for Brittany and Zachary. Yay! for the last birthdays for a while. January is just a mess of birthdays and it seems like I spend every weekend preparing food for our kids parties and a fortune buying for their birthdays. Whose brilliant idea was it to have 3 kids right after Christmas???!
Since the majority of my family is on some kind of diet or healthy eating kick, I decided salad was probably the best way to go so I decided to recreate Cafe Rio salad and let people make their own the way they wanted them.
The ingredients are layered on top of a tasty tortilla and then topped with an amazing salad dressing. So I made cilantro lime rice, barbacoa pork, shredded chicken, tomatillo dressing, and guacamole. Beans, lettuce, cotija cheese, salsa, and tortilla chips can also be added.
I think it was a hit. Except with my nephew. He ate two bites and said it had too much guacamole on it even though he made the plate himself. My dogs weren't sad that he didnt eat it all though. ;)
Sorry, no picture again. I keep forgetting to take them until everything is put up. I promise I will have a picture tomorrow. OF course who knows what I will be blogging about tomorrow - ha ha.
