We recently declared  our Sunday family dinner “taco night” which has turned out to be a huge success.  It’s one of the few meals that we unanimously agree upon.  Despite the many dishes and messy counters, it’s always worth it after enjoying a plate filled to the brim with the works (is there such a thing as too much guacamole?).  So, the fact that Cinco de Mayo fell on a Monday this year gave us another reason why this past Sunday was the perfect night for consuming copious amounts of chips, salsa, refried beans and (light) sour cream.  Of course, the only thing missing were some cold, refreshing margaritas which is why I was so excited to discover this version.  I’m pretty picky about my margaritas…I don’t like them too sweet or artificial tasting and I prefer mine without the salt.  I usually hesitate to order them out at a bar or restaurant because they’re traditionally high in calories due to the various mixers. But, this recipe only uses fresh ingredients (the combination of lime and orange juice was sublime) and a trace amount of light agave nectar.   By far, the best margarita I’ve ever experienced…and the best part is that they’re only 184 calories!  My only regret was I didn’t make enough….next time, I’m making a pitcher…
