    Easy Salsa Dip

    What do you do when it’s Cinco de Mayo and you need to make a quick appetizer to start your fiesta?

    You make a simple sour cream and salsa dip that will taste so delicious you’ll wish it was a bottomless bowl.

    Add in taco seasoning for a kick of flavor and lime juice and zest for that tangy citrus note and you’re all set.

    Now you can serve it just like that, with the four easy ingredients of sour cream, salsa, taco seasoning and lime, and trust me, your taste buds will be oh so happy.

    Add a colorful and tasty garnish of chopped tomato, scallion and cilantro on top, for the crowning glory.

    Try serving the tortilla chips in brown paper bags. It will be fun and festive when everyone gets their personal bag of chips!

    Decorations for a Cinco de Mayo party

    Cinco de Mayo calls for a fiesta! And every fiesta needs decorations and brght colors.

    Start with hanging this Taco About A Party Banner (this makes me crack up every time!), add a colorful Serepe Plastic Tablecloth, or this set of hand woven serape table runners in fextive colors (or both!) and these adorable Fiesta Paper Striped Party Straws with Tacos, Sombreros and more on them.

    A taco serving plate with all the sections is an ideal way to serve your taco recipe and all your favorite toppings and be sure to don your let's taco about it t-shirt (again, cracking up here!) and let the fiesta begin!

    Love a Happy Hour cocktail when you fiesta? Why not give The California Wine Club's Premier Series, the most popular of all the clubs  a try and have wine delivered right to your doorstep!

    Cinco de Mayo Recipes

    Four recipes for a Cinco de Mayo dinner

    Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread starts with a corn muffin mix. Add in a few stir-ins, top with jalapenos, scallions and cheese, pop in the oven and in minutes you’ll be ready to serve up a mighty fine cornbread!

    Jalapeno Cucumber Margaritas are a twist on the classic margarita cocktail. Spicy jalapenos and refreshing cucumbers flavor a margarita mixture lending the perfect balance of heat and coolness to our easy margarita recipe.

     Spiced Skirt steak Tacos are a party in your mouth with a burst of flavor in every bite! Seasoned slices of juicy skirt steak are nestled in a crunchy corn shell and topped with a lime-scented fresh heirloom tomato salsa.

    With a creamy chocolate ganache on top and a hint of spice inside Chipotle Brownies  Chipotle Brownies will be the grand finale at your Cinco de Mayo fiesta!
