Cinco de Mayo Food

So, as many of you know, Cinco de Mayo is not really a Mexican celebration.  It is an important date in Mexican history that relates to a specific battle in Puebla.  That battle was the unlikely Mexican army’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.  It is a day more celebrated in the USA than in Mexico itself.  Since in our world, festivities are a fun way of learning, we welcome 5 de Mayo to celebrate and talk all thing Mexican-American Culture. And, in case you are wondering, Mexico’s Independence day is commemorated on September 16.

Amazing Creamy Avocado Dip Sauce

So what would be the best way to enhance our Mexican style corn, or raja tamales?  With a touch of our Amazing Creamy Avocado Dip Sauce!  Seriously, you can’t go wrong with it.  Serve it on its own as a dip and it will dissapear.  Use it as a sauce and you will amplify your taste buds happiness!

Ingredients

• 1 cup of cilantro
• Half a lime
• 2 Avocados
• A dash of salt
• Half a diced onion
• 2 deveined jalapeños ( no seeds and no white veins)
• Half a teaspoon of agave or honey
• 1 diced garlic clove

Directions

1. Puree all ingredients in a blender
2. Taste for salt and heat.
3. Refrigerate for 30 minutes and serve

Cool mom tip: for added heat, include some of the veins and seeds of the jalapeño.  Do it gradually.

Because kids will be sharing the Cilantro Avocado dip, I remove all the seeds and white veins of the jalapeño.  This basically eliminates the heat but keeps the smooth peppery notes.
