Theme: School Colors
Are you a face-painter? A bare-chested number wearer? Got a closet full of crazy hats and giant foam fingers? Then this tailgate’s for you. When someone asks who’s the biggest fan, you shout, “I AM!” So put your money where your mouth is by cooking up a mess of your favorite grub in your favorite team’s colors. Here are some ideas to get you pumped (as if you’re not already).

Chili con queso
Lasagna – Give yours an Italian-Mexican fusion! Try substituting RO*TEL instead of tomato sauce, cilantro instead of basil and shredded Monterey Jack instead of mozzarella.

Yellow:
Tamales
Yellow corn tortilla chip nachos with RO*TEL salsa
Green:
Stuffed peppers
