3 ounces (tablet or cone) Mexican chocolate or bittersweet chocolate
3 cups milk
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch salt
Miniature marshmallows, for serving
6 cinnamon sticks (preferably Mexican canela), for serving
Using a sharp knife, break up the chocolate into smaller pieces. In a saucepan, combine the chopped chocolate, milk, sugar, and salt over medium-low flame. Heat and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and milk is very hot, but not boiling, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and froth the chocolate milk with a mini whisk or molinillo. Divide the hot chocolate among big mugs, top each with a few marshmallows, and serve with the cinnamon sticks as stirrers.

MAKE YOUR OWN MEXICAN TACOS
3 lb. ground beef
3 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. cumin
2 doz. taco shells (2-3 per guest)
3 lg. tomatoes, sliced & diced
3 onions, diced
1 head lettuce, shredded
3 lb. sharp Cheddar cheese, grated
1 can black olives, sliced (optional)
1 bottle taco sauce (Old El Paso is best)
Taco Shells - buy the kind that's already folded over in a "U" shape.
1. In the morning, or a couple of hours before the party, you must spend time, slicing, dicing and grating the ingredients. (If a guest arrives too early, ask him to help grate cheese.)
2. Preparation of the table for serving: Get a large sectionalized platter, or use several small bowls, and a serving spoon for each. (I use a long wooden bowl from the Philippines with five sections in it.) In each small bowl (or section of platter) place 1 of the following foods: Cut up tomatoes, diced onions, shredded lettuce, grated cheese and sliced black olives.
3. Half an hour before party: In a large skillet, saute ground beef, with about 3 tablespoons chili powder and 1 teaspoon cumin. Drain off excess fat. Meat should be cooked shredded. Place the cooked meat in one of the larger bowls on the table, with a serving spoon.
4. Warm taco shells slightly before serving. Place taco shells on a tray.
5. At the Party: Each guest should take a taco shell and fill with a spoonful of each of the following (in any order) : Meat, cheese, tomato, lettuce, onion, olive and taco sauce. And you have made a taco! Tacos can be served with enchiladas or other Mexican dish.

Do you want Mexican food or Americanized Mexican food or TexMex. There is a big difference, there is no such thing as Mexican pizza or Mexican Lasagna in Mexico. There are other similar items, but the dont include pace picante sauce or chili sauce from a can. FYI
