1. 
   Wet Burrito

   WET BURRITO:
   
   I love a Wet Burrito hopefully my husband will take me to Hacienda Restaurant for Cinco De Mayo, if not I'll have to make one here.
   I'm betting with the swine flu scare we will be staying home.

2. 
   Homemade Nacho Chips

   SERVE NACHO CHIPS:
   
   I am like everyone else when it comes to going to your favorite Tex-Mex restaurant like Hacienda. I like Nacho Chips and Salsa. If you are staying home you may have to buy a bag of chips or you can actually make your own by following my recipe:
