Weekend Recipe - Fun & Easy Taco Dip

There is this website called HolidayInsights.com that posts information about holidays, National days and other stuff like that.  Under the heading of Bizarre and Unique Days I often find something interesting to post about when I am at a loss for ideas.  When I was surfing there one day, I found National Tortilla Day.

Today, February 24, is National Tortilla Day.  The website did not know the origin of the day, but their guess was a tortilla company may have started it.  I thought it was an unusual day for it -- in Winter, not picnic season or a tortilla-related holiday, but who am I to judge.  I thought it was a great day to celebrate tortilla chips with a quick and easy dip, and if you are cold be sure to add some hot peppers!
