Oh yes, it’s Margarita time!
Yes, I am well aware that it is Monday.
But hey, who the heck said you can’t have a little fun on Monday?
Plus, I already have margarita plans for you guys on friday (hint, it’s not a drink). I went a little Margarita crazy!
Honestly, I do not even know where to start with these.
The margarita chicken or the margarita guacamole?
Or actually, maybe I should start with how the weekend went? Yeah, let’s start there.
The weather was insane this weekend! And I mean insane in a good way.
Sun, sun, sun! Barely a cloud in the sky, it was awesome. The temps even warmed up to the forties and fifties on Sunday, but if you were in the sun it felt more like the sixties. Score!
Now, let’s hope that snow that was going on just four short days ago stays away. Snow in May is a completely normal thing up here in the mountains. Really, one day it is sunny and sixty and the next it’s thirty and snowing. Let’s just think positive thoughts though, sunny, sunny skies!
Wow I really need to stop talking about the weather.
Let’s talk Margarita’s!
Alright, technically I did not make real margaritas, but trust me these quesadillas are the next best thing. No wait, to me they are the best and closest thing I am gonna get to a real margarita. Remember guys, I am only the young age of the nineteen and to be honest I am not into alcohol. Love cooking with it, but straight up? It’s just not my thing.
Yes, yet another reason why I am maybe the weirdest person you have (virtually) ever met.
So these quesadillas? They are so good, so cheesy and so fun.
The marinade for the chicken is basically like mixing up a margarita. Just take away the ice and add some olive oil. Then let that chicken marinate for a least thirty minutes to soak up all that flavor!
Ah huh! Yeah people, it’s five o’ clock somewhere!
My favorite though is the Margarita Guacamole. Obviously.
I have no words for this guacamole. It left everyone at the table speechless. Seriously, it’s just that good. I not only topped the quesadillas with the guacamole, but I put the guacamole in the quesadilla. Yes, in the quesadilla. Just do it, you will not regret it.
Oh and I always put rice in my quesadillas. Always. You gotta have rice. I don’t know why, but it just makes them good. I learned that from my dad. He always put rice in our quesadillas when we were younger and I guess I must have liked them, cause now I cannot make a quesadilla without the rice. I just can’t.

Maybe this Margarita Monday will be the next big craze!
I love guacamole. I love tequila. I love margaritas. I am pretty sure that I am meant to make and eat a lot of that margarita guacamole :).
HA! YES! You totally are!
Thanks Hannah!
Oh man, I’m just about to go to lunch and this is the only thing I want!

Love the flavors happening in the quesadillas! They look amazing 🙂
Thank you, Liz
Teighan these look awesome! I could eat them right now and its only 9:30am… I’m a huge fan of guacamole and love the idea of adding a little tequila to it to knock it up a notch. Great recipe! 🙂
Thanks Krista!! The Tequila really does add some amazing flavor, plus it is so fun!
This is fabulous. I could eat that guac with a spoon!
Oh I know!! the Guac is SO good! Thanks Cassie!

Thank you!
Holy Guacamole.. Love how you added the Margarita to Mexican food. I can get down with this.
Ha! Thanks Erika!
These sound so amazingly good and just look at all ooey gooey melted cheese!
Thanks Kevin! That means a lot coming from the ooey gooey grilled cheese master! LOL!
This is brilliant. I was in an guacamole challenge contest this past weekend, and for our guac we actually added some of our margaritas 🙂
Ha!! Margaritas and Guac just go together! Wish I could have been there with you guys!!! Thanks for the comment Lori!
This looks great!
Thanks Jen!
Oh, wow! This looks fantastic! I should know by now not to plan my menus a week in advance because you always post something I want to try. I will make these tonight after I go to the market for avocados. Did you use white or gold tequila? I have white, but I can purchase gold if that is what you used. Thanks for posting such fabulous recipes!
Ha! Thanks Missy!! I used gold, but honestly I think white would work just fine if that is what you have!! I hope you love these!! The Guac is so good. At least we thought so!! Let me know how they turn out!
