These cilantro shrimp tacos are sort of a work in progress; I've only made it twice, so I haven't had much time to try different methods. I made it one day when trying to think of something to make for dinner, and I thought it turned out really well. I think it can be easily adjusted to suit different tastes. Serve with lime wedges.

Marinated Feta
I'm well aware that everyone knows this marinated feta recipe or does it in their own way, but that's how I cook it - it's a quick appetizer for unexpected guests that just rang a doorbell to your house. Keeps well in the refrigerator.
Cold Buffalo Chicken Dip
One of the best flavor combos there is... a Buffalo chicken wing dipped in blue cheese dressing, all incorporated into a tasty dip. Incredibly easy and addicting, takes 15 minutes, and served cold as opposed to the slow cooker recipes. I always have it with tortilla chips. The bacon and jalapeno are great additions, but I suggest trying the original recipe first.
Birria de Chivo Estilo Jalisco (Mexican Braised Goat)
Goat meat marinated in a sauce with ancho chiles and spices, then slowly braised until soft. This traditional dish known as birria is always accompanied with refried beans and corn tortillas, and is normally served for special occasions.
