A couple of us are throwing a baby shower for my sister in law and I have decided to go with a Southwestern theme menu.
Since the guests will arrive around noon I want to make this a lunch affair with a substantial menu.
Most guests who will visit don't eat Pork (more a cultural/religious thing) and also no alcohol. Other than that everything else is fine.
It will be for 50 women (yes we have a large circle of family and friends and cousins) so I need simple yet substantial recipes.
Here is my plan for the menu:
Fajita bar - Steak and Chicken both that will be served with a varitey of condiments - Ideas would be great
Beef Enchilada's - Not sure if there is an easy way to make them for so many people so please share any thoughts especially those with catering experience
Some sort of salsa w/chips- thinking of black bean with roasted corn and other fruits and red onions. Ideas or other suggestions welcomed
Corn bread
Spanish Rice - Never made them before so a recipe would be welcomed
I would appreciate suggestions if there are other easy items that can be added/replaced. I don't want to spend the entire time slogging so I want something easy for that large of a crowd.
