2. Probably my most favorite appetizer of all time…Queso Fundido with Chorizo!

3. Homemade Refried Beans are ridiculously delicious!
You can cook them all day in the slow cooker or use my canned bean shortcut method. Either way, you’ll never be able to eat any other refried beans again. Sorry, and you’re welcome.

4. Holy Guacamole! Great guac doesn’t require much fuss.
You need some tasty, ripe avocados, a little garlic powder, a hand full of cilantro leaves, some chopped onion and jalapeño, a bit of salt, and a squeeze of lime and you’ll have the most rockin’ quac - every time!
