Cinco de Mayo Recipes

Cinco de Mayo Recipes via Fashionably Lo  (3 of 10)

Happy Monday, y’all! Just (another) friendly reminder that tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo and while I might still be recovering from Friday night’s tequila crawl, I’ve whipped up a few quick & easy recipes with Food Should Taste Good to help kickstart your Cinco plans.

 Food Should Taste Good™ believes in crafting better snacks because, let’s be real, food definitely tastes best when it’s made with real ingredients. I am literally obsessed with their chips & crackers (they have jalapeno!!) not only because they taste amazing but they are also non-GMO, certified Kosher and certified gluten-free. So basically, I can snack away without feeling as guilty. Win, win. 

Taking some inspiration from their delicious variety of tortilla chips and other yummy snacks, I pulled together recipes for my favorite Cinco staples – Blood Orange Tequila Sunrise & Spicy Queso Dip.Keep reading for the simple recipes and comment below with your Cinco plans!
