Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday that is celebrated by many Mexican Americans with festive dresses, large gatherings, and delicious food!

Probably the most well known Cinco de Mayo spread and appetizer recipe is guacamole. Nothing beats authentic Mexican guacamole that is made with fresh ingredients. No Cinco de Mayo will be celebrated without homemade tacos and salsa. These two dishes are a great complement to each other.
