**Warning** This might shake you to your core – the sizzling on a plate of fajitas at a restaurant? It’s not what you think it is. Just watch. He said…

He said it best. My life is a lie.

Disclaimer: We still LOVE Mexican food - and do you think the "fake sizzle" will stop us? HELL NO! Let's flash back to Valentines Day and the wonderful sign off that started with one Mexican Restaurant.

I was thinking about being a kid and watching my parents cook - these amazing, mystical dishes that came out of the kitchen. Pots and pans everywhere - me wondering how they could create such incredible things. Then I learned:

  • Lasagna (wife taught me): sauce noodles cheese...noodles sauce cheese (just layer upon layer)
  • Shake and bake: How did they get that crunch on the pork chop that tastes so good? What magical stuff was in that bag? (it's a bag in a box...not that hard)
  • Chicken Cordon Bleu: That was pure witchcraft...how did ham AND cheese get inside a piece of chicken? Took me a couple of years, but I've figured it out.
  • Stove Top Stuffing: I know. I know. But when I was a kid it was a magical thing (they always hid the bag). Who had the time to cut all that stuff up? And it was ready whenever I wanted it!. 100 percent magic.

Tamales? NO IDEA...I just know I love them. Hahaha.  Now who wants to go get some fajitas?

In honor of all of this - here's five Rolling Stones songs changed into Mexican Food titles:

  1. "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" becomes "(I Can't Get No) Guacamole-tion"
  2. "Paint It Black" becomes "Paint It Bean"
  3. "Start Me Up" becomes "Taco Me Up"
  4. "Sympathy for the Devil" becomes "Sympathy for the Enchilada"
  5. "Jumpin' Jack Flash" becomes "Jumpin' Jalapeño Flash"
