I love making each day special and taking advantage of holidays. My husband LOVES Mexican food so that type of food has become a staple for us....
Soaking beans: We always buy our beans whole and not canned. Then the night before, I soak the beans in a bowl with cold water, then cook them in the crockpot for four-six hours. If the beans go in a savory dish, then I smash a garlic clove and add it to the crockpot for a little more taste.
We are hosting a Cinco De Mayo party on Friday. If I was cooking for a smaller crew, this is what I'd make...
Pinto Bean and Swiss Chard Burritos

And this Chipotle Lime Quinoa dish looks heavenly too and something different.
