Whether you’ve been to a Cinco de Mayo celebration or not, you’re probably at least aware that
Cinco de Mayo is Nacho Average Party! …and yeah, when it comes to talkin’ about historical celebrations, we’re all in for the fun sayings that go along!! So, what makes this particular event so significant? It’s recorded that Mexico won an unlikely battle of 4,000 Mexican soldiers against a French army of 8,000 at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862. The French had far more machinery and equipment, and so it was ‘Cinco Swim!’ Mexico’s inability to pay back European war debts eventually brought France to their door… BUT, it was a victory to remember for Mexico, who fought for the right to keep their roots strong. Traditionally, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated as a commemoration in Mexico and is a Mexican-American holiday in the U.S. …which works out great for us, because we’ve got an amazing taco recipe to share with you!
