Cinco De Mayo
'Wich of the Week: Seis de Mayo Sandwich
As you've probably noticed, we are sort of obsessed with avocados here, and on the rare occasion when I have leftover guacamole, I cannot bear to see it go to waste. So after whipping up a batch of homemade guac for a recent party, I used the remaining deliciousness to make a vegetarian sandwich on my new favorite chili bread.
If you've got some of Cinco de Mayo's best condiment lying around, make your own seis (or siete or ocho) de Mayo sandwich.
Fast & Easy Dinner: Chicken Fajitas
Celebrate Cinco de Mayo tonight with a Mexican meal that comes together in minutes. These chicken fajitas are so simple a child could make them! Chicken strips and chunky vegetables are tossed with a super quick marinade of chile powder, cumin, and water.
Ocho Alternative Uses For Jalapeños
No matter what you're making for Cinco de Mayo — guacamole, nachos, or some other festive food — chances are, you'll be tossing in some jalapeños. At least, I know I will be. This highly versatile hot pepper pleases in all sorts of recipes, from sweet treats to cheesy breads.
Served in an Avocado Bowl, Strawberry Salsa Is Scrumptious
Here on YumSugar, we've gone a little avocado crazy, but with Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, how can you not be? A little while back, I stumbled across a strawberry-salsa-stuffed avocado recipe, and with the berries' fragrance overpowering my farmers market, I remembered that I had wanted to give it a shot.
Although I've never thought of using strawberries as a base for salsa, the resulting dish is outstanding!
Off to Market Recap: Margarita Glasses
Cinco de Mayo is manana and I plan on celebrating by whipping up a batch of margaritas for my girlfriends. However, the only margarita glasses I own are oversized and more suited for serving dips than sipping tequila. That's why I asked you to help me by searching the Internet for margarita glasses.
The Basics: Guacamole
When it comes to Mexican cuisine, there is nothing quite as essential as guacamole. In its most basic form, the creamy dip consists of perfectly ripe mashed avocado seasoned with salt. While there are hundreds of recipes, it's nice to have a simple one to start with.
Sunday Dinner: Tuna- and Potato-Stuffed Ancho Chiles
Have a lazy Sunday to spare? Then invite some close friends over and celebrate Cinco de Mayo early with an authentic recipe for Chiles Anchos Rellenos de Atún con Papas.
Translation: it's a delicious dish consisting of smoky, dried poblano chiles, softened in sweet brown sugar and stuffed with tuna, red-skinned potatoes, and a mixture of lime juice, cream, and cilantro.
