the perfect end to a Mexican feast

What Mexican entrees go well with Mexican desserts?I love all my entrees and all my desserts. I think many of my traditionalMexican entreeslikeEnchiladas,Tacos, orBurritosare perfect for serving with these traditional Mexican desserts.

When considering what dessert to make, I tend to factor in how much time I have, what kind of balance I can add, and what kind of atmosphere I’m trying to create.

• Time.如果我麦ing a more involved entrée, I will choose a dessert that is easier or can be made ahead of time.
• Balance.I may want to balance out a heavy meal with a light dessert. If it’s cold outside, I may decide to serve a warm entrée and a warm dessert. Or vice versa to both. If I’m serving more than one dessert, I’ll choose two desserts with different tastes and textures.
• Atmosphere.I decide if I want to be able to provide a formal sit-down dessert or one I can set out and can be eaten at leisure.
