Being a Texas girl, I can’t help that I loooove me some Tex-Mex! I swear Mexican food is just not the same once you leave Texas! What could possibly be better than happy hour spent on a patio during “patio-perfect weather” sipping skinny margaritas and snacking on homemade guacamole? I’ll give you a minute to think.
