Fresh Guacamole and Salsa with a Traditional Molcajete Bowl
Bring authentic flavor and a touch of tradition to your table with a molcajete bowl. Perfect for making guacamole or fresh salsa tableside, the molcajete’s rough stone surface helps release the natural oils and flavors of your ingredients.
Guacamole Recipe:
- 3 ripe avocados
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- Salt to taste
Scoop the avocado into the molcajete and mash with a pestle. Stir in onion, tomato, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add lime juice and salt to taste. Serve fresh with tortilla chips!
Keep Tortillas Warm and Ready with a Tortilla Warmer
Fresh, warm tortillas are a must for tacos, fajitas, and wraps. A tortilla warmer keeps them soft, hot, and ready to serve throughout the meal.
Fresh Tortilla Recipe:
- 2 cups masa harina (for corn tortillas) or all-purpose flour (for flour tortillas)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
Mix the ingredients into a dough, form into small balls, and press flat. Cook on a hot griddle for about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to your tortilla warmer immediately to keep them perfect for your next dish!
Serve Sizzling Fajitas with Style
Create that unmistakable sizzle that customers love by using a dedicated fajita server set!
Sizzling Chicken Fajitas Recipe:
- 1 pound boneless chicken breasts, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons fajita seasoning
- Juice of 1 lime
Marinate chicken with fajita seasoning and lime juice. Sauté the chicken until cooked through, then add peppers and onions and cook until tender. Serve immediately on a hot fajita server for a sizzling presentation!
Blend the Perfect Frozen Margarita
No Cinco de Mayo celebration is complete without a refreshing frozen margarita — and precise measurements make all the difference! Using a jigger ensures you get the perfect 2 oz and 1 oz of tequila of triple sec every time.
Classic Frozen Margarita Recipe:
- 2 oz tequila
- 1 oz triple sec
- 1 oz fresh lime juice
- 1 cup ice
Add all ingredients to your bar blender and blend until smooth. Serve in a salt-rimmed glass with a lime wedge garnish.
