RO*TEL “Spring into Summer” giveaway!

Last week on Pin for the Wednesday I mentioned I was working with RO*TEL tomatoes on their “Spring into Summer” campaign, and I showed you my winning pin for their Guacamole that Rocks!  Well, this weekend I put even more yummy RO*TEL recipes to the test when I helped my BFF Luanne throw and 18th birthday/graduation party for her daughter, and my kids’ favorite babysitter, Krisha!

To help Krisha’s party guests spring into summer, I made five delicious party foods with RO*TEL and RO*TEL recipes! They are, from left to right: Guacamole that Rocks, Spicy Black Bean Salsa, Zesty Franks Ole‘, Ultimate Chicken Quesadillas, and Fiesta Seven-Layer Dip. Don’t they look tasty!?

I had a lot of fun making the recipes, and most were really easy.  The Spicy Black Bean Salsa was probably the easiest, and the Ultimate Chicken Quesadillas required the most effort (but were WELL worth it!) A fun thing I did was use different kinds of RO*TEL – I used mild RO*TEL in some of the recipes to make them more kid-friendly and less spicy, and I used Original RO*TEL in some recipes and RO*TEL with lime & cilantro in others! So they all had that RO*TEL kick but at different levels. Everything was SUPER tasty! I think my favorite was still the Guacamole that Rocks followed closely by the Fiesta Seven-Layer Dip, or maybe the Spicy Black Bean Salsa, I don’t know – it was all amazing! Krisha’s party guests thought so too:

  2. I too have a fear of making guacamole but am encouraged by your story of Guacamole that Rocks. That has to be my fav.

  25. I think the quesadillas sound best. I have a great easy guac recipe already, but I may sub in a can of Rotel for my usual fresh tomatoes, onions, and pepper. That would eliminate some of the chopping!

  42. And btw, I buy wholly guacamole instead of avocados. It’s already mashed upavacados. They make 100 calorie packs and I throw them in the freezer.
