Cinco de Mayo is on Taco Tuesday this year
|
Hi Reader, Cinco de Mayo lands on Taco Tuesday this year. The calendar gods finally got something right 😂 So we're doing it properly. Snacks, three different taco options to choose from and a few margarita ideas too. Here's the plan. Start with the snacksWhile you're heating tortillas and grilling, people are going to want something to nibble on. Here are 15 Cinco snacks — chips, dips, and things to graze on.
Now the tacos:Steak Fajita TacosSizzling skirt steak, charred peppers and onions, folded into a warm tortilla with a squeeze of lime. This is my husband's secret marinade 🤫
Skillet Charred Shrimp TacosHot skillet, blistered shrimp. 25 minutes from pan to plate.
Carne DeshebradaSet it in the slow cooker before work and walk away. By the time you get home you have falling-apart, deeply flavorful shredded beef tacos.
So — which one are you starting with? Hit reply and let me know. I read every note that comes in. xo, Kate P.S. If you do nothing else, but make yourself a margarita, that's cool too. I've got 22 margarita recipes for you to try. |
