The official reason to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in the USA is to honor the cause of freedom and democracy during the early years of the American Civil War and to revel in Mexican heritage and pride.  The unofficial reason, let’s be honest, is to have a dedicated day where everyone just parties with Mexican food and margaritas.  Here are some simple-to-make dishes to pair up with your favorite tequila-spiked cocktail.

• Zesty Guacamole
• Super Simple Homemade Corn Tortillas
• Grilled Mexican Corn on the Cob
• Pulled Pork-Stuffed Poblano Peppers

Lime and cilantro make everything taste better…enjoy this festive holiday responsibly.

Salud,
