September is a great opportunity to explore and appreciate some of the flavors that make Mexican food so special. The best way to do this is to plan a Mexican-themed potluck with your close friends and family – before everyone settles back into their school and work routines. The best thing about a potluck is the variety of dishes and, as a result, the variety of flavors. These 10 Mexican dishes, ranging from salsas to salads, are perfect to bring to a potluck.
Fish Tacos
You can never go wrong with tacos. And when the tacos have a filling made of fish fillet, the entire platter is finished in no time. The best thing about these fish tacos is the juicy and spicy mango salsa and the light, fresh texture. Full Recipe: Fish Tacos
Strawberry Salsa
A berry delicious version of a traditional salsa is to make it with fresh, juicy strawberries. The combination of sweet, juicy strawberries with hot, spicy jalapenos is so good that all the other salsas fade in comparison. Don’t forget to bring a bag of tortilla chips as well to the potluck.
