Thursday is Cinco de Mayo! Before kids we would go out to a local Mexican restaurant to celebrate. But things are a little different now with two little ones, so we stay home and I make one of my many Mexican recipes and a batch of margaritas.
If you are staying in, here are a few ideas for a Cinco de Mayo supper.
La Cina {Dinner}: I have two recipes for you.
1. Easy Chicken Enchiladas with Tomato-Avocado Toss
The name says it all. These cheesy chicken enchiladas are so easy and really yummy. But I have to admit that my favorite part is the salad. The tomatoes and avocado are tossed with fresh lime juice and cilantro, one of my favorite flavor combos. So fresh, tangy and delish! If you want to view these recipes click

2. Grilled Fish Tacos with Corn & Black Bean Salad
Made of marinated mahi-mahi, fresh lime, cilantro and a chipotle sauce, these tacos are THE BOMB! It’s partner is a chilled black bean and corn salad. Click here for both recipes.
Bebida {Beverage}: Sangria
Chrissy at Hoot Designs posted this the other day and I have been craving it since I saw it! Her recipe for Red Sangria sounds so refreshing! And there is fruit in it so it’s good for you, right? But watch out, this one will sneak up on you!
El Postre {Dessert}: Tres Leches Cake
Courtesy of Ree Drummond {aka The Pioneer Woman}, this recipe for
Tres Leches Cake is to die for! I haven’t actually tried it, but if it is as good as her other recipes it is sure to be a hit!
Did I make you hungry? I’m staring at that picture of the cake as I type this and drooling. Guess I better go find dessert to satisfy my craving!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
