Mexico is our first stop on our culinary tour. We all pitched in to prepare the dinner.  Jon and John worked on the meat and vegetables for the fajitas and I made the beans and rice. Here’s my two favorite guys in the kitchen.

We used boneless skinless chicken thighs sliced into strips. We bought  a packet of fajita mix because I wasn’t sure I had all the spices in the house.  I mixed the black beans with a little of the juice from a can of Rotel and some of the vegetables. The rest of the liquid from the Rotel went into the cooking liquid of the rice. Jon mixed up a tasty spread of sour cream and chipotles in adobo. Yum, what a great dinner!
