Cinco de Mayo Celebrations

Topics: cinco de mayo, mexican food, recipes

I have zero ancestors from Mexico but love Mexican food. Perhaps that's because I grew up in Southern California. For Cinco de Mayo, we always have Mexican food either at home or out at a restaurant.

I have a few dessert recipes on my RECIPES FOR THE SEASONS blog: Coconut/Ginger Flan, Sopapilla Cheesecake, Margarita Cake, and Strawberry Margarita Cake.

What are your favorite Mexican foods?

I love chicken tacos, burritos and quesadillas. My hubby loves burritos and Mexican rice. My daughter loves quesadillas with olives inside. We all love chips and salsa.

Besides eating Mexican food (and getting sloshed on Margaritas) what do you guys do?

I am currently off Mexican food because tortilla soup, guac and chips were the last things I ate before a bout of stomach flu.

  You need to get back in the saddle...
  
  But I do understand if it's an aversion brought on by the illness. There are certain foods I can't eat b/c they are timed w/ bad times for me.

  It'll take time. But I'll be back. After food poisoning, it took me 18 months to eat sushi again.

  Soft or hard shell? I prefer the soft just because they don't break. What do you like inside your tacos? I prefer grilled chicken, tomatos, cheese, lettuce and lots of hot drippy sauce!
