My husband grilled the chicken and shrimp as well as some red pepper, onion and squash. My friend made a delicious Mexican salad that included avocados, greens, pepper, corn and tomatoes, and I made a black bean and corn relish, and put out a variety of taco fixins, including lettuce, salsa, taco sauce, shredded jack cheese, queso fresco, green chiles and crushed pineapple.
We started out the evening sitting on our back patio enjoying chips, salsa and guacamole (I love this easy recipe from Emeril's There's a Chef in My Family cookbook- http://www.emerils.com/recipe/6592/), along with beer and mojitos I made with spiced rum which actually turned out pretty good - not as sweet. Perfect for a summer evening!
