Party Recipe: Architecture Menu

Party Recipe: Architecture Menu

Friday’s party is getting closer and I have a pretty good menu worked out in my mind. The theme is “architectural nuevo San Diego” aka: fancy mexican food.

Starters:
Pepitas and other little snacks, maybe some fruit with chili powder
Tres Equis beer, pomegranate margaritas on the rocks

Salad:
Stacked salad of julienned jicama, apples, arugula, manchego with a citrus cilantro dressing.

Main Course:
Deconstructed carnitas tacos: roasted pork loin seasoned with oregano, chili powder and garlic served with roasted jalepenos stuffed with queso asadero, fingerling potatoes, roasted tomatoes, fresh avocado and tostada strips.

Dessert:
I haven’t finalized this. I’m leaning toward brownies and homemade cinnamon ice cream.

    Sounds fabulous, and I’ve had good luck with Smitten Kitchen recipes too.
