Sweet and Spicy Monkey

Cinco de Mayo is one of my favorite holidays of the year and it’s coming up this week, Thursday to be exact. I love this holiday because it’s all about good Mexican food, good friends, and good times.

This year, I’ve turned to some of my foodie friends over at Culinary Content Network to help me celebrate Cinco de Mayo with some of their favorite Mexican recipes.

There’s recipes for guacamole, Mexican pizza, five spice duck tacos to a hot and spicy menudo.

And since its Cinco de Mayo, let’s not forget the tequila! You can eat your margarita in this (non-alcoholic) Strawberry Margarita pie or get spicy with a Habanero Margarita drink.

So whether you’re just having a small get together or a fiesta for all your family and friends, we’ve got you covered for your Cinco de Mayo party celebration.
