Creamy Tomatillo Dressing (Cafe Rio)

Back at the beginning of the month

Hubby and I decided it would be fun to celebrate Cinco De Mayo 

With some delicious Mexican food and our favorite dressing

We made chicken tacos

I get cook the chicken and shred it

Then I get this delicious season mix 

because it is cheap and yummy

Once the chicken was all ready 

you add the amount of water it calls for 

on the packet and the mix

And your yummy chicken is complete

Easy Peasy right?!

Now onto the Creamy Tomatillo Dressing

The best part in my opinion

Here is what you need:

1 packet of buttermilk ranch dressing

1 Cup mayo

1 Cup buttermilk (the smallest carton is perfect)

1 bunch of cilantro

2 tomatillos husked (I didn't even know what these were until this dressing haha)

1 jalapeno (take the rib and seeds out)

Garlic powder (just a few shakes)

juice from 1 lime

First Put the mayo, dressing mix, buttermilk, and garlic in a blender 

and mix until blended all together

Then you will cut up all the greens

Tomatillos, jalapeno, cilantro and juice the lime

Then you will add all the green ingredients 

and blend until mixed all together and creamy
Then you will let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 min

And then it looks like this...

mmm it is so simple and all you dirty is a knife and blender

This stuff is seriously so good

I just made some again today just to keep in my fridge 

for my lunch salads :)

This is also yummy on top of some yummy homemade cafe rio pork salads ;)

While the chicken is being cooked and the dressing is being prepared

We made some delicious rice to put inside or on the side

I just used the Fajita rice a roni

It was perfect for this meal

just the right flavor

and not too spicy

I am not much of a super spicy gal just a little

Then we got all the toppings ready

Chicken, rice, guacamole (made by my sweet hubby he makes the best),

cheese (of course), lettuce, limes to squeeze on top for some extra goodness,

tomatoes, sour cream, salsa and of course the dressing

Wrapped up in a warm delicious tortilla

And there is all the goodness with some chips on the side

and some Mexican soda of course

We just got it at Dans and it was delicious

Apple and Grape were the flavors

We quite enjoyed this meal while we watches us some 

recorded shows we were catching up on

Cinco De Mayo is also a special day for husband and me 

because that was the anniversary of our first kiss

It has been 4 years since we took our best friendship

to the dating level :)

And just because here are a few of my sweety Baby M

He was loving some of the chicken tacos and Dressing too

He is such a good eater

and it is so much fun to be able to give him what we are eating for dinner now

Poor little sunburnt cheeks from the zoo earlier that day

I'm a bad mom and forgot the sunscreen :(

Never again it made me so sad

But even with his first sun burn he was one happy boy that day

Not much can get this little one down

which makes me very happy

Do you see these jammies?!

Aren't they adorable

I love the little shorts 

I could just eat this boy up

And one last one of Little M at the zoo earlier that day 

with his uncles, mommy and Grandma Leanne 

He is so rockin those glasses don't you think

I got them at target for $1 wahoo!

Hope you all have a beautiful day and don't forget to write 

the delicious recipe down

You will thank me later I promise
