Party Friendly Foods for Cinco de Mayo!

Sofrito Lovers,

Happy Cinco de Mayo!  Today, we celebrate...something Mexican! Okay, fine! I don't know much about Cinco de Mayo, but what I do know is that this is a foodie holiday full of delicious Mexican food, copious amounts of Tequila, and kick ass parties!

For all you party planners, I've posted a great article, from Chowhound.com, that should help make your Cinco de Mayo party spread absolutely delicioso! There's nothing better than churros, quesadillas, and freshly made pico de gallo! Check out the post below and plan a party people will salivate over!

Enjoy! Go taste for yourself! ¡Buen Provecho!

Party Friendly Foods for Cinco de Mayo

Cinco de Mayo commemorates Mexico's unlikely victory against the French Army led by Napoleon III on May 5, 1862. To celebrate this win for the country just south of our border with the food we so love, there's an easy Mexican shrimp cocktail recipe you need to try. You'll need fresh shrimp, tomatoes, chipotle chiles, avocado, and cucumber for this recipe. Make your own tortilla chips or buy the best chips you can find. This is a good party food that goes beyond the regular cheese and bean dips, and even salsas.

Check out all of the recipes for Cinco de Mayo to make your celebration special.
