Answer 10

I would do a fruity dessert with mexican... maybe some sort of mango dessert

Answer 11

Mexican meals do not usually include a dessert, instead , consider bringing spanish rice or a dip with chips

Answer 12

I would suggest something like an ice cream cake, or bring some ice cream and toppings and have a "make your own sundae" bar. Anything w/ a dairy  base in it will help to soothe their taste buds after a spicy dinner.  Enjoy your pot luck night!
