There were several places offering special meals today, but Hubby Tony and I chose to stay home and dine on leftovers of the homemade chili he made yesterday. I've never seen chili in a Mexican restaurant, but in my world it's close enough.
Thanks to the "holiday" Tony had no problem finding ripe avocados to garnish the bowls. He also put out tortilla chips to complete the meal.

ReplyDeleteLookin good. I hope you don’t get heartburn.
ReplyDeleteFunny you should bring up heartburn. It's never an issue for me, but last night I had to find some Tums :-(
DeleteLooks very tasty!
ReplyDeleteYes It was.
DeleteSo Happy New Year to Mexico!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a delicious recipe!
We always top our homemade chili with shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream..will add avocado too next time!!
ReplyDeleteHalfway through the meal I realized I should have put some cheese on it (but the cheddar was in the freezer and too much work).
Delete"eat Mexican food and drink margaritas." My gut says no and no.
ReplyDeletePoor you!
DeleteAvocado is so delicious and would be a welcome addition to many spicy dishes.
ReplyDeleteI love avocado!
DeleteChili is one of my husband's favorite dishes. Your bowl looks so good.
ReplyDeleteIt was :-)
Deletewow...that looks delicious! I didn't hear much about Cinco De Mayo this year...of course, we were home and not out much yesterday....
ReplyDeleteYou had more important things to think about.
DeleteWe did take out from our favorite Mexican restaurant. When I went in to pick up our dinner, it was packed with people and a mariachi band. Fun!
ReplyDeleteOur church has a large Hispanic community, and for their big events they will have a mariachi band. I enjoy listening to the music.
DeleteThat looks really good.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was.
DeleteI LOVE chili and make different versions, frequently: ground turkey, vegetarian, chickpea, lentil.... My understanding is that chili originated in Texas?
ReplyDeleteMore than likely Texas was the origination point, but www.allrecipes.com/longform/history-of-chili/ has a great historical perspective.
DeleteI learned something today. Why May 5 is celebrated. Thank you. My guy is not keen on Mexican food, so I make it very rarely, but that chili looks amazing. Sigh.
