Last month was definitely a busy month for throwing fiestas with two major holidays including Cinco de Mayo and Memorial Day. The good news is that you don’t have to have these days as an excuse to celebrate by getting together with friends and family to throw a party or small gathering.
The most important part of any fiesta is definitely the food. One of our favorite cuisines is traditional Mexican food. Mexican dishes are delicious and include a tasty variety of great appetizers, main courses, and desserts that will please the palates of all of your fiesta guests, regardless of their ages.
A staple of any fiesta party is tortilla chips. CHI-CHI’S® white corn tortilla chips can be paired with delicious salsa like HERDEZ® salsa casera which contains traditional Mexican salsa ingredients and is available in hot, medium or mild. You can even use any leftover tortilla chips to create your own yummy nachos recipe.
Another fiesta favorite is taco tortilla soup which can be served as a main course or as an appetizer. Hormel® has a convenient and tasty recipe using Herb-Ox® chicken bouillon cubes and Hormel® chunk breast of chicken. Busy moms love this recipe because it takes less than 15 minutes to prepare and will give you a lot of extra time to party the night away. You can find this great recipe here!
Once the fiesta is over, you can send your guests off with a sweet treat to ease their cravings. Check out this Caramel Apple Sundae recipe which allows you to choose your favorite dipping items such as apple slices, pretzels or tortilla wedges.
Allow Hormel® to help you host a great fiesta anytime, no matter what day it is or what time of the year it is!
