The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day, but it should be! And Cinco de Mayo is not an American holiday, but it should be. Mexico declared its independence from mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810. And it took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico.
So, why Cinco de Mayo? And why should Americans savor this day as well? Because 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862.
I have informed you of why it is called Cinco de Mayo and why we should celebrate it, now lets get down to recipes.
First you will want to start off with some appetizers before your main course meal. Here are some couple of ideas. One of the recipes I am going to mention is really delicious and you would want to keep eating more and more of it. These nachos are really tasty.
In this recipe, you can either choose to have onions or not. The onions usually give the nachos more flavor. These nachos include chorizo, beans, and cheese. The one good thing about it, is that you can substitute the chorizo for either small chunks of meat, chkn, or ground beef.
Another appetizer you may want to try for your fiesta is chimichangas. They are absolutely tasteful. They would be great as an appetizer or a snack or even a meal. If you do decide to serve it as a meal you may want to have rice and beans on the side.
Make sure to also have sour cream and salsa on the side in case someone at your fiesta may want a little more flavor or spice.Last but not least the best, dessert!!!!
Dessert is the best part of the entire meal................no im only kidding but desserts are lusious....
Here is a scrumptious dessert that I am more than positive you are going to love. It is called Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
Here is a picture of it.
Don't you want some of that, of course you do.
I have provided some ideas for your HAPPY PAPPY FIESTA, ENJOY!!!!!
