Cinco de Mayo party ideas?
We'll be making Carnitas and home made tortillas for the entree. Anyone have any good suggestions for sides?
I was thinking Mexican corn casserole but am drawing a blank for anything else.
Salad ideas?
Thanks!!
Re: Cinco de Mayo party ideas?
You have to have homemade guacamole or salsa.
What about spanish rice with lime or I like to make black beans tossed with diced red onion, cilantro and lime and olive oil.
I love corn casserole so I would make that too.
For dessert you can make churros.

At Mexican restaurants, I usually have a salad b/c I love all the toppings that give it a good bite.
I think you can have a pretty simple salad: greens, tomatos, corn, beans, shredded cheese, salsa (instead of dressing), guacamole, tortilla strips (instead of croutons). You can set this up as a salad bar so people can build their own.
If you can get your hands on a pinata - that will definitely be a great way to get the crowd mingling.
P.S. Don't forget the limes - for the coronas and the tequila shots. I always forget to buy limes!

If you wanted something healthy, you could do an avocado side salad...its kind of like guacamole but not smashed up, so you can eat it with a fork. dice some avocados and tomatoes and onions in large chunks and serve with a little lime squeezed on top. The Carnitas sound DELISH! I also have a few fun cinco de mayo drink recipes on my blog of your looking for drink ideas!
