Cinco De Mayo?

Here I am in 1996 with a friend in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico

Are you planning anything special for Cinco de Mayo this year?  I love Mexican food.  I lived in south Texas down by the Mexican border for two and a half years. So, when I eat Mexican food, I want it to be authentic! Cooked the way it is cooked down south of the border.I spent a couple of years perfecting my recipe for Mexican Seafood Soup, trying to get my home made to taste the way I remembered it tasting at Las Margaritas in Pharr, Texas.  This is one delicious soup!

I had some delicious Queso Flameado at a restaurant in Reynosa, Mexico with friends. The melted cheese, chorizo sausage and chilies  made it sooooo good!

Last summer, FabGrandpa and I were in Prescott, Arizona, ate at a little Mexican restaurant on the square. They had this delicious, yet simple, appetizer on the menu. Of course, I came home and re-created it so we could have Shrimp Stuffed Avocados any time we want. The chipotle pepper gives this dish a great flavor!

One of my “go to” recipes for a quick and filling dinner is Gluten Free Enchiladas.  Sometimes I use this recipe and make my own sauce, other times I buy premade sauce at the grocery store. If you choose to buy premade, be sure to read the label to make sure there are no gluten ingredients. Either way, enchiladas are a great choice.

And here are some links to some delicious looking recipes I found while searching:

this Strawberry Quesadilla would be delicious made with gluten free tortillas. I found some gluten free tortillas made by French Meadow Bakery, so I’m going to be trying this one.

Let’s not forget the Guacamole! I like mine chunky with chopped tomatoes and onion.

And how can you even think about Cinco de Mayo without a Margarita! Ole!

    I’ve copied your Mexican seafood soup and shrimp stuffed avocado recipes. Besides looking delicious, they look easy to make. Love the finished quilt, beautiful!.

    Having lived in NM for 12 yrs, we too learned what “real” Mexican food tastes like. I will check out your recipes, esp the gluten-free enchiladas. Love the quilt!

    I’ll be on the road. Guess that leaves out the margarita.

    Here’s a great quick recipe: Toss shredded cabbage with ranch dressing to which you have added a teaspoon of cumin. Add tiny chunks of avocado. Squeeze on some lime. Add cilantro if you like it. It’s completely unlike any coleslaw you’ve ever tasted!
