Mixed Grill With Cilantro Pesto Recipe

Grill a couple of meat options–thick pork chops and beef fillets–and top with Cilantro Pesto. If you slice the meat into smaller tasting portions, guests can try a little of each meat with the sauce.

Lanny's Salad With Candied Pumpkin Seeds

Lanny's Salad With Candied Pumpkin Seeds Recipe

Prep for Lanny's Salad is similar to the sugared pecan-and-cheese-topped salads you may have made before. Queso fresco tastes and crumbles a little like goat cheese or feta cheese and is often sprinkled on refried beans and enchiladas. Find it at supercenters or Hispanic markets.

Grilled Artichokes and Asparagus Recipe

Though artichokes and asparagus might not seem like they jive with the rest of this Mexican menu, Lanny thought they'd be a great vegetable side anyway! To eat artichokes like a pro, pull each leaf through your teeth to enjoy the tender portion on the bottom of the leaf.

Shrimp Mojo de Ajo Recipe

For this dish, brush shrimp with a five-ingredient sauce of olive oil, garlic, chiles, lime juice, and salt. The guajillo chiles Lanny calls for are dried peppers with a bright tangy taste and kick of heat.

Berries With Tequila Cream Recipe

Make the sauce for this dessert the day before the get-together to save time. That way, all you have to do the day of is drizzle it over mixed berries and serve!
