Is Cinco De Mayo a total excuse for Americans to stuff their face with tacos, guacamole, and margaritas?  Yes.

Is that such a horrible thing?  Maybe not.

Here are a few of my favorite Mexican recipes I have made over the years and taste delicious.  Make some of them tonight and top with generous amounts of guac and a huge side of chips and salsa!

Chili-Spiced Polenta with Avocado Sauce (this avocado sauce is AWESOME and I make it all the time):

Avocado and Corn Gazpacho (Perfect if it’s really warm where you are!)

Tortillas topped with Mexican Bean Sauce

Taco Casserole (by far one of my favorite recipes on my site)
