Thanks for the help!
When I went to New Mexico we went to a lot of mexican restaurants and they make a dish called Sopapilla... its a deep fried dough served with straight honey. Its sooo yummy! They have it to a) help with the heat of the chilis and b) as 'table bread' That might be a good thing to make also. here are some recipes for it http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-...apilla,FF.html.

and Pork Carnitas - I LOVED THIS!!! http://www.mexgrocer.com/515-carnitas.html

then don't forget the margaritas!!!!
