At the very tip of Texas, this Mexican botana platter recipe with beef and chicken fajitas, beans, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream has always been an all-in-one hit at restaurants or any get-together!

Stroopwaffels II
Dutch cookie with caramel syrup between two thin cookies. Absolutely delicious! I lived in Holland for a year and fell in love with these cookies. I was so happy to finally find a recipe! These are made using a pizzelle iron.
Armenian Pizzas (Lahmahjoon)
This is a dish my Uncle is famous for, but he has never written the recipe down. Through years of trial and error, I think I have pretty much got it as close as I can! Don't be too exact with your spices though, just flavor as you go to your own tastes--personally, I never measure mine out. These pizzas are great to put in the fridge overnight and grab as a quick lunch the next day with a dollop of plain yogurt on top!
Oven Kalua Pork
Fire up the tiki torches -- it's time for a luau! This delicious slow-roasted pork is rubbed with sea salt and liquid smoke to recall the glorious flavors of pig cooked in a traditional Hawaiian imu. Once cooked and cooled, it can be shredded and served with poi, yams or even on a bun. You may use ordinary sea salt for this recipe if the Hawaiian variety is unavailable.
