Cinco de Mayo recipes

[San Juan Sun]

It's the annual unofficial holiday where Americans with no connection to Mexican culture celebrate a minor Mexican holiday for no real reason. So bust out your recipes. After I wake up from a nap, Mrs SJS and I are going to head to the store. Can't wait for dinner tonight.

Be sure to pick food that is the polar opposite of French cuisine.

They also celebrate it by eating a bunch of stuff that for the most part mexicans don't eat.

We are having a workplace Cinco party today for lunch. It is different from being back home because, one, there is no beer or margaritas, two someone signed up to bring "enchiladas" made in a crock pot. I was assigned to bring a bag of shredded cheese. I guess if the crock pot enchiladas don't have enough cheese, people can use my bag of cheese to supplement their needs?

Usually there is a chunk of downtown LA that is all blocked off and the area around Olvera Street is packed. I'm not sure if SLC plans to do anything but I might go high five the guy that sells tacos across the street from the Delta Center. If he is busy, I will just give him the index finger gun while making the clicking noise with my mouth and blinking one eye. It isn't much, but he will know what I mean.

Here in Utah, the culture dictates that the one person in the office who is least trusted to cook, bake, grill, etc. something worth eating is assigned to bring a bag of shredded cheese, as it's pretty tough to screw that up.

It's the office equivalent of playing right field in Little League.

There is only one person bringing the main dish, which is crock pot enchiladas. Everyone else is bringing bags of cheese, chips. Ice, soda, etc.

I think what we are doing is basically bringing Taco Bell in for lunch.

Like I said...

You guys are ruining SJS's thread.

Something simple. I like to take a yellow onion diced, cilantro chopped finely, cumin to taste, and the juice of one lime. Mix it up and put on top of grilled flank steak and corn tortillas.

[San Juan Sun]

As we speak, delicious sirloin is marinating in an concoction of olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, onion, garlic, cumin, ancho chile powder, salt, and pepper.

It will be joined by a fresh guacamole on tortillas.

This is going to be a good faux-holiday.

[San Juan Sun]

So it's Cinco de Mayo again. I forgot I started this thread. It seems that the flank steak w/ marinade I just threw in the fridge is very similar to last year's version. I should have consulted the CUF archives first.

We will be enjoying fish tacos for dinner.

What kind of fish, and how do you prepare it? I recently had the fish tacos at California Pizza Kitchen, and I'd give them a B. But that's all I have to go by when it comes to fish tacos.

My wife has adopted a recipe from surfah. The recipe is towards the bottom of the thread. My wife will be using Mahi Mahi.

[Coach McGuirk]

We are going with a Santa Maria tri tip and salmon tacos with mango salsa
