Last week's theme "Mexican Food Showdown" chosen by guest judge @tioluis brought many, many wonderful dishes into existence (and into hungry bellies), and once again has given us all much viewing pleasure! I'm sure too that many of these recipes have been bookmarked by fellow Steemians who can't resist trying out these mouthwatering meals. The quality of the entries, as always, is phenomenal and I do believe it's getting harder and harder for the judges to choose winners from them! @tioluis certainly had a tough time, but choices must be made and so here we present this week's winners. Everyone put in so much effort - not just the cooking but presentation and rule-following too - and I both acknowledge and appreciate all of this! @tiolus was also impressed by the entries... for the delicious factor, for the research that went into them, and the Spanish included in the text!
Also we acknowledge the very generous bonus prize of 10 SBD from @tioluis for "The Most Authentic Mexican Recipe". There was a misunderstanding in which I thought he'd retracted this prize, but he hadn't! So I have just edited this post to include the prize (below). Thank you @tioluis!!!

After 8 rounds of sponsoring the 'Most Creative Entry' prize, this is @englishtchrivy's final week of sponsorship. We are extremely grateful to her for providing this prize, and for encouraging creativity amongst our foodie Steemians! Thank you Ivy, we won't forget your kindness, and hope you will continue to stop by from time to time to admire the creative dishes that are yet to be prepared! This week she awarded one 'Creative Entry' prize, and a special bonus prize to @kenjiby in appreciation for continued support and participation in this challenge, and to 'welcome back' from a time of absence.
For those of you who have never entered this challenge before - it's very easy. We have a different theme each week, and all you have to do is prepare a dish appropriate for the theme, and also ensure you follow the general rules of the challenge (which are in every 'new theme' post). You don't have to be a master chef - just try to be creative with your recipes and take beautiful photos, since unfortunately we can't taste the entries so you must help us do this with our imaginations! Original recipes are encouraged, but you may use someone else's recipe as long as you credit the original source.
