Easy Cinco de Mayo Fiesta

Easy Cinco de Mayo Fiesta

Remember how I started talking about Cinco de Mayo over a month ago?  Guess what… it’s here!!!

If you’ve been with me for any length of time you’ve probably figured out that I love food. I love ethnic food of all sorts, but there is a soft spot in my heart for Mexican, Tex-Mex, and Americanized Mexican food. Maybe it’s because it’s super delicious and has the opportunity to be spicy (which I love), or maybe because it’s super easy to make.

Probably both.

Do you have plans for Cinco de Mayo?  Yes, I know this weekend is Saint Patrick’s Day, so you’re probably thinking about Guinness, corned beef, boiled potatoes and whisky. And I can’t blame you. I’m a huge fan of a good Irish Stew or Shepard’s pie. But, you know what I like even more?

Mexican food. All of the Mexican food. Mexican, Tex-Mex, Americanized Mexican, and even that random taco stand down the street. Don’t get me wrong, I love food from other Central American countries as well (My sister makes a delish Nica Salad… I’ll have to convince her to share her recipe), but right now, my brain is thinking about Cinco de Mayo, and Mexican.

Yes, I know Cinco de Mayo is more of an American Holiday… I’ve made that disclaimer both times I’ve shared my recipes previously (You can find them here and here). That being said, as I mentioned previously I love this food, and I’ll embrace any reason to eat it. I know I’m not alone because Taco Tuesday is a thing. (And I’m not sad about it, one bit.)
