One of my buddies and I do a quarterly 8 course 8 guest meal. We've done all kinds of cuisines, and this time I'm doing Mexican/southwestern. I'd love any suggestions/recipes you'd be willing to impart. I'm going to make it all from scratch.

Gauc, homemade salsa & chips
Ceviche
Queso fresco quesadillas
Yucatan chicken soup
elote
Beef taquitos
paletas
Chile verde, cilantro lime rice, black beans
flan

Other items I'm considering: tamales, rellenos, queso fundido, tongue tacos.
