My mother in- law gave me an easy burrito recipe last week that I was dying to try but the recipe makes 30 burritos. I decided to make the burrito's up and have a party. My friends were totally excited and each brought something to add. The party was a complete success. Thank you Brian for your delicious tacos, the salsa that brought me to tears and the rediculous pinata that I made you go searching for! Thank you Josh for your homemade macayo chimichangas that I couldn't stop inhaling.Thank you Camille for the frozen daiquiries and last thanks Beka for bringing the chips! You guys are awesome.
