Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner. I don't know about you but I always think of Cinco de Mayo as the beginning. The beginning of all things I love about the warmer weather. Even though spring has already started, it seems each year that Cinco de Mayo is the start of outdoor parties, endless days of playing outside and eating dinners out on the patio. The fun stuff. So I want to embrace Cinco de Mayo for the hope it gives me of the fun ahead (especially after the horrendous winter we had).
While I want to have some fun, entertain and live it up on Cinco de Mayo, the problem I am running into is that I am just too short on time to put together a huge homemade feast. That's when I got the idea to have an appetizer theme. You guys know how much I LOVE appetizers. Who doesn't?! I decided to try out Josè Olè snacks to keep things easy. I was thinking it would be and fun, super easy, plus, I'll be a hero for serving up such delicious, spicy snacks.
I was thrilled to find that my local Stop & Shop carries the Josè Olè snacks I was looking for, right in the freezer section. Come to find out they're available at most retailers, nationwide. The snacks I'm choosing to serve are Chicken & Cheese Taquitos, Beef & Cheese Mini Tacos and Chicken & Cheese Nacho Bites. Don't worry if you're thinking it's not going to be enough for a crowd, they're protein-packed and very satisfying.
To keep with my super easy Cinco de Mayo theme, I'm sharing with you a dip recipe! It's perfect for dipping all the Josè Olè snacks. And best of all, it's not totally homemade. I mean, come on, we're keeping things fun and easy, so why would I want to take all that time mashing and mixing and seasoning? I wouldn't! I've taken a store bought guacamole and gave it some tang with Greek yogurt. And to freshen it up a little bit, I've added some fresh lime juice and cilantro. You're guests will never guess it started with a store bought guacamole.
You guys know what else I love besides appetizers and snacks, right? Yep, you guessed it, COUPONS! Today, I'm able to share with you a coupon for $2.00 off one Josè Olè snack product! You're welcome.
Now you know what I'm doing for Cinco de Mayo, so tell me what will you be doing for Cinco de Mayo?
