They are so good and you can just pick them up and eat them whole (minus the stem). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504428 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:27:50 +0000 Mommy Finger 1504428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Costello: I love this idea! I never think of elote b/c I have a hatred for all things mayo but this works out perfectly.</p> <p>@rsp213: I was planning on doing some sort of refried beans so this would be a good way to dress them up!</p> <p>Thanks for your ideas everyone!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504406 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:19:30 +0000 rsp213 1504406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is almost embarrassingly simple, but sometimes when I want to bulk up our mexican dinners I make a side dish of canned, refried black beans mixed with either frozen or canned corn. I let everything heat together on the stove and sometimes add a little taco seasoning for some spice/flavor. If you can refried beans that already have seasoning in it, that works too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504396 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:16:24 +0000 Costello 1504396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a big fan of elote. While it is best on the cob, frozen corn works just as well. I skip the mayo and add butter along with chili powder, cayenne pepper, cotija cheese (parmesan will work in a pinch) and a squeeze of lime. So tasty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504390 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:13:29 +0000 matador84 1504390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>guac or queso! a delicious salsa like mango or pineapple...<br /> black bean dip? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504384 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:10:56 +0000 chopsuey 1504384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmmmm Mexican.<br /> Guacamole, pico, chips, queso! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504383 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:10:39 +0000 chopsuey 1504383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mmmmm Mexican.<br /> Guacamole, pico, chips, queso! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504380 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:09:22 +0000 yoursilverlining 1504380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Roasted corn and poblano salad with lime dressing</p> <p>Black beans or pinto beans (cooked soft with onion, not refried)</p> <p>Spicy cabbage salad/slaw</p> <p>Avocado and roasted pepper salad</p> <p>Caesar salad </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504371 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:05:15 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1504371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>guacamole and/or and tortilla chips, loaded nachos (topped with melted cheese, corn, black beans, salsa, guac, sour cream, basically the works!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504362 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:03:17 +0000 Mommy Finger 1504362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah, I guess I see the chips and salsa/guac as our app. :) Although I can eat so many of them that I'm rarely hungry when dinner comes around!</p> <p>I tend to over think things so I figured I might be doing that here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504360 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:02:48 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1504360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know you said no beans and rice, but this Mexican rice recipe is awesome (and simple): <a href="http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mexican-Rice-II/Detail.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Mexican-Rice-II/Detail.aspx</a> I usually add pieces of corn and onions.</p> <p>Also, guacamole and chips are a must for in my book :)</p> <p>I know, nothing groundbreaking, but side dishes are generally pretty simple for Mexican food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504359 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:02:33 +0000 LBee 1504359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love blackbean, corn, and avocado salad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504355 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 12:01:28 +0000 Mae 1504355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chips (i think tortilla chips are GF?) and salsa/pico/guac would be my go-to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504351 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 11:59:50 +0000 keiki_mama 1504351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pico de gallo? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mexican-side-dish-ideas#post-1504348 Wed, 19 Mar 2014 11:58:34 +0000 Mommy Finger 1504348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having friends over for dinner on Sunday and have decided to make tacos/fajitas. Does anyone have any good side dish suggestions other than the typical beans and rice? There will be 4 adults and 3 kids and it needs to be gluten free. Other than that, anything is game!!! Thanks! </p>
