Today was a busy day! After work, I cleaned, prepped dinner and then headed out to teach Body Step. One of Josh's friends was joining us for a fiesta, so I laid out some black bean dip and salsa/chips for them to snack on while I taught.
For dinner, I cooked up some flank steak:
And made up another batch of refried beans:
For Josh and his friend, I made flautas with inspiration from this recipe. I topped tortillas with mixed shredded cheese:
And then steak:
I also added tons of corn. I rolled them up, sprayed them with olive oil cooking spray and baked for 10 minutes. I then flipped them over and baked for another 10 minutes. I made myself a vegetarian version with just cheese, black beans, and corn. Here is a pic of Josh's plate:
They turned out crispy and delicious! The boys topped theirs with taco sauce. I topped mine with a little salsa and had a side salad filled with bell peppers. Very yummy! Did you do anything special to celebrate cinco de mayo?

Enjoy the night!
i looove mexican food! looks fab, as usual :)
That black bean dip looks delicious! Our cinco de mayo plans were to make homemade spanish rice and "refried" beans, but I apparently never checked my cupboards to see if I had brown rice and pinto beans - and I didn't!
I LOVE mexi food!! I have it like, twice a week! I love your celebration, haha and I like how you always show Josh's plate :D Boys' eats are more fun sometimes!
Hey girl hey that mexicano food is calling my name!! The black bean dip, along with the pizza, look so good! I hope your day was wonderful!
Glad you had a fun dinner! I went running after work and then made some Mexican food for the fam. It was buffet style with whole wheat tortillas, fajita veggies, avocado, cilantro, limes, salsa, lettuce, black beans, etc. I made a big salad, some made burritos or quesidillas. It was fun!
The flautas and pizza look great. We had fish tacos.
Looks delicious! I love Mexican food.
You are a busy bee! Work, Body Step, claning and cooking? Such yummy dinner, too.
The pizza looks real delish.
mmm. the pizza looks yummy :) happy cinco de mayo!
Those look fabulous! I bet the steak was delicious. The pizza looks great too - and I don't even like artichokes.
That pizza looks amazing with artichokes! And your Cinco de Mayo feast looks fantastic. Leave it to you to come up with the perfect meal to celebrate the holiday :o) I unfortunately couldn't do anything for it, but I love reading about what everyone else did!
Have a great night!
Looks like the perfect Cinco de Mayo food. I love flank steak burritos.
Hehe, when I first scrolled through your post, I thought the bean dip was chocolate...I guess my sweet tooth is calling!
I don't think I've ever seen a pizza with proscuitto & artichoke on it! I bet it's delicious -- you are such a good wife! :)
prosiutto & artichoke pizza? sounds like something one would order from a gourmet pizza shop!
Feliz Cinco de Mayo (which I think is technically almost over) I just went out with friends, but I could go for some pizza. We drank more than we ate ;)
NOTHING here last night.
no celebrating I mean.
WAIT, I did get the wireless working again and did a little dance.
yeah, that was about it.
Ohh dang those look yummmy! Much more festive than my cinco de mayo!
I LOVE prosciutto! I never thought to put it on pizza. It sounds delish!
No Cinco De Mayo celebration for me...but maybe that is good! Me + chips + salsa = disaster. ;-)
ate my weight in chips & salsa last night at Uncle Julio's Rio Grande Cafe.
and maybe a shot of tequila
but I did get the veggie fajitas (no cheese, sour cream, or butter) and it was delish! the mushroom looked like chicken - I almost sent it back - d'oh!
Great looking pizza and dinner!!!
The pizza looks amazing. I love prosciutto!! I love your cinco de mayo dinner too. Melted cheese... YUM!
