Cinco De Mayo Taco Celebration

May the Fourth be with you......

And right after that, we will celebrate Cinco De Mayo and by celebrate, I mean, consume of some traditional Mexican fare!

There are a few parts to this week's recipe spotlight: we have some chicken tacos but you can't have tacos without a superb taco seasoning. And whatever you do, please (I beg of you) do not forget the guacamole! You could have 11 sombreros on your head but if you do not have some guacamole to put on your taco....it is not Cinco De Mayo ;)

Without further ado, shake your maracas right over to these recipes.......Olé
