If i go to a mexican restaurant I always order the chicken chimichonga. Its by far my favorite. There's lots of other things I like too but I have to have the chonga. I usually get to pick over my wife and kids plates too and they get enchalatas and such so I get a little of everything. Always gatta have the fried ice cream too. At home we make enchalatas too, their pretty good.

hmm,i will share with you a recipe that is always a sucess here at home,hope you like it too,its delicious!:) Using some fresh and some canned ingredients, this chili is a snap to throw together and will keep you craving it for days. Chunky zucchini, fresh green onion, sour cream, and - what the heck - shredded Cheddar cheese, are sure to make this your favorite chili recipe. If you like beans in your chili, garbanzos right out of the can are great in this. Terrific Turkey Chili INGREDIENTS 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided 1 1/2 pounds ground turkey 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning mix 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes 2 tablespoons tomato paste 1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth 1 (7 ounce) can salsa 1 (14.5 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, or coarsely chopped tomatoes packed in puree 1 (7 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers 1 medium onion, finely chopped 1 green bell pepper, diced 3 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced 1 bunch green onions, chopped 1 cup sour cream 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese DIRECTIONS Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Crumble turkey into the pot, stirring with a wooden spoon to break apart as much as possible. Season with taco seasoning mix, coriander, oregano, chili flakes, and tomato paste, and mix until meat is evenly coated with seasonings. Continue cooking, reducing heat if necessary, until turkey is well browned. Pour in beef broth, and simmer to reduce liquid slightly, about 5 minutes. Add salsa, tomatoes, and green chilies, and continue cooking at a moderate simmer for ten minutes. Adjust the thickness at any time you feel necessary by adding water. While chili is still cooking, heat one tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion and green bell pepper, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes, or until onion is translucent and bell pepper is lightly browned. Add onion and bell pepper to the chili, and continue cooking at a very low simmer. In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini, and cook stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the zucchini to the chili, reduce heat, and continue cooking 15 minutes more. Again, adjust the consistency with water as needed. Ladle chili into serving bowls. Top with sour cream, green onion, and cheddar cheese, and serve.

I like bean burritos loaded with salsa, lettuce, and guacamole. I also love vegetable fajitas. Of course the appetizer has to be chips and salsa. Mmmm, I'm getting hungry.

My favorite Mexican dish is the torta. it's a heavy Mexican sandwich, and you can usually only find them in authentic restaurants or my favorite place, the taco truck. they usually have shredded beef on them, with tomatoe, avocado, lettuce, etc. They are awesome.
