My most used item in the kitchen is my skillet! Having a good one that will last a long time is really important to me. I have found that the Le Creuset Skillet has been my go to skillet for most of my dishes, makes for an easier cleanup than a regular cast iron skillet too.

For a beautiful presentation use some serving bowls that have a pop of color to them compared to plane white ones. It will make your guests feel like they are dinning in an authentic Mexican restaurant.
