    Is there anything better than a good Mexican dinner? In this girl's opinion, the answer would definitely be no. I'm pretty much a fan of all kinds of Mexican food. In past posts, I have shared Copy Cat Nacho Bell Grande ,Easy Sheet Pan Fajitas,  Copy Cat Chipotle Tomatillo Green-Chili Salsa and my favorite drink with Mexican food The Best Skinny Jalapeno Margarita.

      […] This margarita is a perfect blend of salt and sweet. The last margarita I shared The Best Skinny Jalapeno Margarita was fantastic, however, this Skinny Blackberry Margarita may be my new favorite. The key to a good margarita is smooth high-end silver tequila. This time I used patron silver patrontequila.com/ often I use 1800 silver 1800tequila.com/products/silver/. mixed with a simple syrup made of fresh blackberries and monk fruit and fresh lime juice. Yum. It went perfectly with Easy Beef Enchiladas. […]
