Cinco de Mayo Recipes
Tamales
Our shrimp and poblano-chile tamales are wonderful party fare because they freeze so well. Plus, we
added Mexican Chihuahua cheese, a buttery semisoft cheese that melts beautifully, to the filling. Dried
corn husks are the traditional wrapping, but you can also wrap the tamales in foil.
Pico de Gallo
Top off tacos and other Mexican dishes with this fresh-from-the-garden sauce.
Casserole-Style Chiles Rellenos
This is a streamlined version of the classic Chiles Rellenos (CHEE-lehs reh-YEH-nohs).
Picante Sauce
Picante (pee-KAHN-tay) in Spanish means spicy hot. White wine vinegar and roasted garlic give this
sauce rich flavor. It's the perfect addition to your dip tray.
Guacamole Recipe
This is our best guacamole. To remove the bite from the chopped onion, we rinsed under hot water.
For authentic Mexican flavor we used serrano chiles and Mexican oregano, but you can substitute
jalapenos for the serrano and regular dried oregano for the Mexican variety, if desired.
Cheese Enchiladas
Filled with Mexican Queso Blanco (a firm-textured mild fresh cheese) and slathered in red chile sauce,
these are delicious and easy to make. You'll find soft corn tortillas in the refrigerated section of the supermarket.
Strawberry Margarita Sorbet
Strawberry Margaritas are a popular cooler throughout Mexico. Here's a dessert based on the cocktail. It's a
delicious ending to our Mexican menu or, partially frozen, as a slushy drink on a hot summer night.
