Cinco de Mayo Party Food!
Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner in fact it’s next Friday, eek! And if you’re having a party well you know me – every great party starts with great food. Well when it comes to Cinco de Mayo Party Food, I got ya covered!
Fresno is known to have the BEST Mexican food around in fact my Dad was told that when he was in the Army 50 years ago! After moving here three years ago, I found out those guys were right! I’ve tried to emulate some of the best flavors I’ve sampled.
First up are these AMAZING Baja Fish Tacos!
Baja Fish Tacos are a little spicy but with BIG flavor – if you’re looking to grill, the perfect choice for Cinco de Mayo! These easy tacos are so simple just a light marinade and onto the grill they go!
Don’t forget to grill the tortillas!
What makes a great tortilla? If you’re looking for authentic flavor, be sure to grill the tortillas! It doesn’t take but a few seconds each side and that char? Oh the flavor! Simple to do but makes a HUGE difference in flavor!
