Plan a Cinco de Mayo Celebration

Cook up a delicious taco bar and serve all the sides for a taco party the whole family will enjoy. If you’re planning a taco party, prepare a couple of meat options for the filling. It’s smart to include a veggie option, too.

Round out the party with an array of taco party side dishes for a fun Mexican feast. Think 3 to 5 sides depending on the number of guests. Have friends and family bring a side dish for an easy potluck style party.

For family meals, you can have a Mexican feast-themed week. Make several sides at the beginning of the week and use throughout, while making a new main dish each day. Get creative with leftovers – you can make burritos, nachos, tacos and more.

And don’t forget the fun fiesta party supplies and decorations. You don’t have to spend a fortune to create a festive party atmosphere. Hang a few decorations and serve the food on themed plates. You can even fill a pinata with goodies for a super fun activity.
