Tortillas and Margerita 5-19-2013

Heading out for Mexican food on a warm afternoon always starts on the right note when fresh guacamole and a cold drink hit the table. While waiting for our entrees, the bright colors and textures of the appetizers made for a quick photo opportunity. It is hard to beat the simple combination of salted chips, fresh avocado, and an iced cocktail.

The shot puts a thick, salt-rimmed rocks glass front and center, filled with a cold margarita over crushed ice. Alongside it sits a plate of warm tortilla chips and fresh guacamole garnished with cilantro, all set against a soft, out-of-focus restaurant background bathed in warm ambient indoor light.
