Description:
I stumbled upon this delightful Mexican Trifle recipe in an old issue of Woman’s Day and it has become a staple whenever I host friends for a festive fajita dinner! ๐ It’s incredibly easy to whip up, especially when you need to make a large batch for a potluck. For those occasions, I simply swap in vanilla instant pudding and enhance it with the suggested flavorings. โจ
