Margaritas and Chili Verde

Every fall Abbie has one request for her birthday dinner, Josh's delicious Chili Verde. To make this dinner even better the tomatillos were harvested that day from our garden.

Even though it was the end of October it was a beautiful evening. We decorated with paper flags and our new lighting (Thanks mom!) made it the perfect setting.

Of course the drink of the evening was the classic margarita and in our opinion you can't beat the recipe from Rick Bayless. He knows how to make a good margarita! Here is a link to the recipe. It is simple, easy and delicious. 

Toppings

The chili verde was topped with homemade Mexican sour cream, flour tortillas, cilantro, and lime.

When I asked Josh if I could share his recipe he laughed. So I guess you won't get the exact recipe but this one is pretty similar -Margarita Carmona's Chili Verde

Happy Birthday Abbie!
