Cinco de Mayo Weekend: A Celebration of Food

We love Cinco de Mayo. Guacamole, Margaritas, Burritos, Queso, Chimichangas... Okay, it's about more than delicious Mexican food. Cinco de Mayo "...commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over the French forces of Napoleon III on May 5, 1862, at the Battle of Puebla" (per USA Today.) We can all respect a little history. 

Now, back to the delicious Mexican dishes we're making this Cinco de Mayo weekend:
