So what is everyone cooking for Cinco de Mayo?
I've got about 5lb's of Rancher's Reserve Flank Steak probably in two different marinades.
Traditional stuff for Fajitas.
And some 1800's Margartias.
My 1/2 butts.
I suppose if I stuff them in a piñata, I can call it a fiesta.
Ain't nothing wrong with pulled pork fajitas.
Now that sounds like an idea, I'll have to go and get me some tortillas.
Pulled pork tacos with leftovers from yesterday - sauced pork form the weekend along with the slaw wrapped up in a freshly grilled flour tortilla. Will have to break into the reserve Tequila collection - need to get some fresh limes and and an orange or two tomorrow - time for some Perfect Margaritas !
It ain't cinco de mayo without margaritas!
I've been playing with a cucumber salsa.
Might try it again, but will have Reg. Homemade Salsa on stand by.
Had another idea - or had it again- Chili Rellenos with pulled pork and goat cheese. Doubt I have the time for those.
This is my premium margarita recipe. Careful because they taste like koolaid and will sneak up on you.
1 1/2 oz Premium tequila (I like 1800)
1 1/2 oz Gran Mariner or any orange liquor
1 1/2 oz Nellies key lime juice (sold on baking isle in grocery) or fresh squeezed lime
1/4 cup powdered sugar
Place all ingredients in shaker with ice and shake for 30 seconds. Strain into salted martini glass with wedge of lime and olive.
Drink and enjoy ;D

That's a single serving. I usually make a ptcher and in that case use any measuring device and equal parts of al booze and adjus sugar to taste.

Better Hurry .... Burppp!
I just had an early Cinco de Mayo. With left over pulled pork I lined a cookie sheet with tortilla chips and covered generously with pork. Then, I drizzled BBQ sauce lightly on top of pork. Next layer of flavor was shredded smoked gouda and then topped each chip off with a jalapeno. Baked in oven at 400 for 10 minutes and then topped each chip with a tiny scoop of fresh guacamole. Three margaritas later and now I'm full :-)
