Hola, my readers! Today's dish is dedicated to the taste of Mexico. I just love the vibrant, delicious, fun and exciting flavours of Mexican food. Ooh la la!

  In a couple of days, fiesta lovers across the United States will gather to celebrate

Cinco de Mayo (Spanish for 5th of May) to commemorate the victory of the Mexicans
over the French at the Battle of Puebla.

Today, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated with beautiful and bright decorations,
colourful parades, dancing and  flavourful Mexican food.

Now who doesn't love a good fiesta?
