MEXICAN BOTANA PLATTER
Growing up at the very tip of Texas, this beef and chicken fajita, bean, cheese, guacamole, and sour cream recipe has always been an all-in-one hit at restaurants or any get together! Serve with Spanish rice and fresh warm flour tortillas! You can also use grilled shrimp or sausage as your meat and save time by using tortilla chips in the bag, but the taste won't be authentic.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Rub beef and chicken with fajita seasoning and 2 teaspoons garlic powder. Cut beef and chicken into 1-inch strips, and set aside.
- In a saucepan, warm refried beans over medium-low heat.
- Stir salt, lemon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder into mashed avocados. Set aside.
- Heat corn oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cut tortillas in half, then cut in half again to make 4 triangular pieces per tortilla. Place into the skillet as many tortilla pieces as will fit without overlapping, and fry until crisp; repeat this process until all the tortilla pieces have been fried. Remove crisp tortillas to paper towels. Discard oil, and wipe out skillet.
- Return skillet to medium heat, and stir in beef, chicken, bell pepper, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes; then stir in cilantro.
- Layer the tortilla pieces along the bottom of a large baking dish. Spread refried beans evenly over tortilla pieces. Sprinkle cheese over beans, then spread meat mixture evenly on top.
- Bake in preheated oven until cheese and beans are bubbly, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and drop sour cream and guacamole by tablespoonfuls in various places across the top. Sprinkle tomatoes and jalapenos on top.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450.
- Separate the onion slices and place them in a small bowl. Sprinkle with salt, add the lime juice, and toss. Let sit for five minutes, then squeeze out the excess liquid and set the onions aside.
- Spread the refried beans out on an oven/broiler-safe tray or platter. Scatter the cheese over the top then add the olives and onions. Place in the oven and bake until the beans and cheese are bubbling, then turn the oven to broil and cook just until the cheese and onions have browned.
- Remove from the oven, arrange the tomatoes and avocado slices on top, place tortilla chips around the perimeter, and serve with additional chips, sour cream, your favorite salsa, and pickled green chiles on the side.
- Warm the ¼ cup of fat in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering, and add half of the beans. Carefully add half of the bean cooking liquid, then mash the beans well. Add the remaining beans and liquid a little at a time, mashing after each addition. Stir in the cumin and oregano or marjoram. Cook until the liquid has evaporated and the beans are creamy, adding the remaining fat a tablespoon at a time if they look too dry. Stir in the chorizo at the end, if using, and cook until warmed through.
BOTANAS
This is a recipe I invented based on a dish we would get at my favorite Mexican restaurant growing up - it is similar to nachos.

11 MEXICAN BOTANA IDEAS AND RECIPES FOR A GAME DAY …
From thespruceeats.com
Estimated Reading Time 7 mins
- Ceviche. Peru claims ceviche as its original creation, but nowadays, this raw-fish-bathed-in-lime-juice delicacy is enjoyed in distinctly Mexican versions in fishing villages and large resorts up and down both the Pacific and Gulf coasts.
- Keto Tortilla Chips. These keto tortilla chips are an easy replacement for corn tortilla chips, with only six keto-friendly ingredients. They are packed with finger-licking flavor, which is exactly what you want in a good chip.
- Taco Sauce. While many packaged sauce mixes are fine, homemade is always better. This taco sauce is easy to prepare and starts with tomatoes, green chiles, jalapenos, and lots of spicy goodness from cumin, coriander, cayenne, and paprika.
- Mexican Cheese. Just as there are gobs of varieties of authentic Mexican cheese, there are many different ways to enjoy it on game day. Here are just a few suggestions to kick-start your ideas
- Tepache. Need an alternative to the same old beer and soda drinks while watching the game? Tepache comes to the rescue with its refreshing flavor and fermented goodness.
- Empanadas. The ultimate in "finger food," empanadas can be savory or sweet, and they can be served either hot or at room temperature. These hand-held goodies can be made the day before the Big Game, if you like, and can even be filled with leftovers from other meals.
- Quesadillas. If there is a no-brainer for football food, this is it. Whether they are of the simple cheese-between-two-flour-tortillas variety or the more complex (and flavorful) traditional fried type, quesadillas are fun and satisfying.
- Nachos. Are nachos Mexican? That’s debatable (and discussed elsewhere), but what is undeniable is their suitability as game-day fare. For best flavor, forego the viscous orange “cheese sauce” and make your nachos with real shredded cheese, heating each serving briefly in the microwave or oven to turn it all melty.
- Guacamole and Chips With Salsa. Since “guac” has now been completely woven into the average American life experience, it’s easy to forget its distinctly Mexican origins.
- Keto Nachos. For those that are on the keto diet, these keto nachos are sure to be a hit. Using the homemade keto tortilla chips, simply add toppings of shredded chicken, guacamole, queso, cheese, sour cream, and whatever other toppings fit your cravings.
