Tips for a Stress-Free Mexican Feast
- Prepare toppings early. Chop onions, cilantro, tomatoes, cabbage, and peppers before cooking the main dish.
- Warm the tortillas. A few seconds in a skillet or microwave makes tortillas softer and easier to fold.
- Add heat slowly. Start with a small amount of jalapeño, chili powder, or hot sauce. Guests can always add more.
- Make sauces ahead. Guacamole, salsa, crema, and dressings can save time when the rest of the meal is ready.
- Keep cold dishes chilled. Return creamy dips, salads, and fruit drinks to the refrigerator when they are not being served.
- Store wet and crunchy ingredients separately. Add dressings, salsa, and crunchy chips shortly before serving to protect their texture.
- Double useful fillings. Taco meat, shredded chicken, and enchilada fillings are easy to freeze for another meal.
