Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!! I have to be honest, when this holiday falls during the week it’s hard to get as excited as I did when I was in college. The fact that it fell on a Tuesday, just means that Taco Tuesday will be in a full effect and I’ll need to add some fun fiesta touches to our dinner!

Frozen Margarita//Strawberry Mojito//Prickly Pear//Dolled Up Mule
Let’s be honest, mojitos and margaritas sound enjoyable just about any time, but on this day, it’s almost mandatory! How delicious do these Sangria Swirled Frozen Margaritas look!
To Eat//
To Eat//
Southwestern Quinoa//Baked Chicken and Spinach Flautas
Chicken Burrito Bowls//Shrimp and Avocado Salad
While we may end up making the Grilled Chicken Tacos from a few weeks back a few of these recipes are mighty enticing! Specifically the Chicken Burrito Bowls! I’ve made the Zesty Lime Shrimp and Avocado Salad and it’s a refreshing winner!

Baked Churros//Sugar Cookie Tacos
Churro Cheesecake Bars//Mexican Brownies
I made these baked churros a little over a year ago and not sure why I haven’t made them since because they are delicious!! Lisa’s sugar cookie tacos would also be really delicious to eat and a little healthy too!
How are you going to be celebrating Cinco de Mayo?
xo,
Gimme ALL the noms!!!!! I think I just gained 12 pounds just LOOKING at all of that deliciousness!! π Happy Cinco De Mayo girl!!!
So many yummy recipes! We are going to our favorite local Mexican place tonight with some friends. Very low key – very different than Cino de Drinkos of the past π Enjoy your dinner!
Happy Cinco De Mayo! I made the quinoa recipe last week and it was sooooo good. The desserts look delicious Biana!

Is there seriously anything better than a margarita and chips and salsa??? You found some healthy versions in there and my stomach seriously growled at 7 in the morning!
Margaritas all around! This post has got me seriously thinking I need to swing by the store over lunch and pick up this stuff for dinner!

Is it bad I want ALL of this right now? haha. Everything looks delish!
Definitely not as fun when you're not a grownup, but the fact that it is a Taco Tuesday (also not quite the same when you're a grown up, boo!) makes it even better! I am drooling looking at all of these!
I really want to try a Prickly Pear and those desserts are making me drool!! That's all I need is a fancy drink and some churros!
Ally – Life as I know it
Ay-yi-yi, these all look amazing!!! I love the after dinner treats :)!
Have you ever tried dicing up fresh mangoes, avocado, and tomato and mixing it with corn and taco seasoning? It's seriously the best! Plus it mixes all sorts of sweet and spicy! Can't wait to go to dinner tonight! Taco Tuesday. (;
That shrimp and avocado salad sounds awesome. AND now I want a margarita. π
Ohhh these all look incredible! Shrimp and avocado sounds amazing, I want to make those flautas, and I want ALL of those desserts!
Churro cheesecake bars..stop. They look way too good. Today is Cole's real bday! My little Cinco de Mayo baby lol. xo

Those drinks all look delish right now! But you know, virgin all the way for me, ha ha! And those desserts! YUM!
Eric lived in Mexico City for two years and he LOVES to tell me that they don't celebrate their independence day on May 5th, so he's never been into celebrating Cinco de Mayo. Lame! Ha!
College Cinco de Mayo celebrations were the absolute best! How adorable are those sugar cookie tacos??
I'll take all of that please… haha. Those drinks look so refreshing too. I hope that you have an amazing day today too!! π
I'd love a churro cheesecake bar right about now.
Loving all your Cinco de Mayo picks! That shrimp and avocado salad looks incredible and the Sangria Swirled Frozen Margaritas sound so refreshing! Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Love all the yummy ideas for this fun holiday – that sangria swirled margarita sounds amazing!
I will definitely be partaking in taco Tuesday!
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Now you have me drooling. I wasn't planning on getting a margarita but now I want one tonight! π
So many great ideas here! It's our little Finn's first birthday, but since Ryan has to work late tonight, we are having our fiesta tomorrow. π
I feel the same way about it! Taco Tuesday sounds amazing though! All of these recipes sound amazing but I am seriously dying for those baked churros! Those look incredible!

oh man do I have a lot of cooking to do now! These look amazing and I cant tell you how obsessed I am with churros!
YUMMM!! I just googled a bunch of healthy cocktail drinks to find one I want to make tonight! I am thinking staying pretty simple with fresh lime juice, tequila and seltzer water with some fresh fruit mixed in.
I so want meixcan food now. Those brownies look so good.
I basically love all of the Mexican food all of the time, so all of this is drool worthy for me!!! Those baked flautas look so yummy!!! I am making my Mexican Skillet Casserole tonight. It is fairly healthy and will provide left overs for another night this week. Win win for me!
We are having some quesadillas, guacamole and coronas! I can't wait!
I just had to scroll through that super quickly bc I am on a diet and that stuff looks delish and fattening, lol!
Um…yum!! Happy cinco indeed!! π

I so agree on itβs tough when it falls during the week β I mean even if it could hit on a Thursday would be better but Tuesdays a tough one. The pink frozen margarita looks perfect! Iβve always wanted to try those little sugar cookie tacos!
These are such great festive food and drink suggestions! Love it!

My husband and I ended up doing a Cinco Happy Hour party on sunday, as Tuesday is just not as much fun. I need those churro cheesecake bars! And I ate paleo Mexican chili coconut fudge for breakfast today, and I'm pretty sure Ill be tequila popsicling come lunch.
Everything looks amazing! i would especially like a strawberry mojito and chicken burrito bowl! Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Ok, you just made me seriously hungry! They all look so yummy!

Yum! I'll take one of everything! Hope you enjoy your Cinco de Mayo!

I have an awful craving for Mexican food now! We often don't celebrate holidays on the actual day (husband is in upper management at one of the large retail chains), but I think I will make tacos in a few days! I also like frozen taquitos for when I don't feel like messing with a lot of ingredients. They go nicely with Bud Light Lime.
Those little fruit tacos are the cutest!!! I love any excuse to eat Mexican food π We will definitely be enjoying some enchiladas and Mexican corn tonight.
I'm such a sucker for a mojito, yum!
Oh my gosh I should not have read this post! I am starving right now and this all looks soooo good! Love me a good mojito!!
Omgosh so many treats! Making me so hungry… happy cinco de mayo! xx

I made dinner at home! I really don't like Sangria but those frozen sangrias look amazing right now!!
Ahh!! Girlfriend! Thank you so much for the share!!! π π π Hope you had a fabulous cinco de mayo! xo
I want to try all of these. The prickly pear margarita (absolute fave) and churro cheesecake bars caught my eye specifically. I think Cinco de Mayo just needs to be a month long celebration.

Those sugar cookie tacos may be the cutest dessert idea I've seen! It's unique too! I might have to make those for my cousin's graduation party that is taco themed this summer.
Oh my goodness, I can't believe how easy the churro recipe is! I'm definitely going to have to try that!
