I'm hosting Bunko next week and I think I've decided what to make for dinner, but I still need one more side/snacky thing to serve.

Do you like refried beans? They seem to be a standard Mexican side dish, and they're healthy. I've hated them since I was a little kid, but most people seem to enjoy them. :)

Spiced-up black beans are REALLY good and something I had at one of the best/most authentic/still cheap Mexican restaurants I've been to.

I thought about beans- black beans or refried beans.

Guacamole! It is actually very easy to make. There are some good receipies on the Food Network website. I also think pitting avocadoes is fun, but I'm a little strange.

Once I gave black beans a try, I can't get enough of them now. I don't know if it's when they're seasoned right or what...Trader Joe's (I don't know if you have any around, but I suppose you could make your own, too) has a really good Mexican layer dip and burritos in a bowl...I love Mexican food, can you tell? :)

I also looove margaritas and sangria...ready-made margaritas by Cuervo or a brand of the like (I like Sauza better) are good and as easy as it gets, haha. :) I'm also eager to try Smirnoff's vodka mojitos...I don't like rum, but I do love mint and vodka tonics, haha. :)

I can do the ready made alcoholic stuff, but I've never tried to actually mix something on my own.
