Cinco de Mayo Recipe Roundup

Cinco de Mayo is this weekend y'all, and let's be real about why we love this holiday.  It's the perfect excuse to eat all the chips, guac, and queso that we want, and we can drink all the margaritas without feeling guilty.  I've semi been celebrating all week and in fact, you SHOULD celebrate Cinco de Mayo all week long because there can never be enough Mexican food and drinks in my opinion.  We are just cooking at home this weekend and having some friends over, and I figured most of you might be doing the same, so I'm sharing my Cinco de Mayo recipe roundup to help you plan out your weekend festivities!  

I picked my favorite recipes that are perfect for this weekend's celebrations no matter what you have going on!  Whether or not you are having a party, or you and your family are getting in the spirit by whipping up a homemade Mexican fiesta with just your tribe, there is a recipe for you!  

Oh and don't worry I have the cocktails covered too, because you can't really have a Cinco de Mayo celebration without a little booze!  Am I right?  Here are my top recipes to make this Cinco a tasty one!
