Cinco De Mayo Recipes
Cinco de Mayo commemorates the Mexican army’s victory over French invaders in 1862. Today it is celebrated not only in Mexico but in the US as well. We LOVE mexican food (as a matter of fact tacos are on our weekly family menu) and we can’t wait to have our fiesta tonight! Here are some of the recipes we love to have not just today but when we crave mexican food!

We also are dairy free on quite a few occasions. This 5-Minute Vegan Cashew Queso from the Minimalist baker is our go to recipe. We also love the Siete line of gluten free chips and tortillas.
