Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner which means it’s time for some delicious Mexican food, festive decor and fun music! Our family loves any excuse to party and get together with friends. What we don’t love is spending hours in the kitchen preparing all the food. For this party we came up with the perfect solution! Turn to your electric pressure cooker to whip up our tasty recipes and you can have your feast ready for a crowd in no time.
A taco bar using Fajita Seasoned Shredded Chicken is a great and inexpensive way to feed a large crowd. Include a selection of hard taco shells and flour tortillas as well as bowls of diced tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, lettuce, shredded cheese, sliced black olives and sour cream then let your guests create their own tacos.
Enjoy the taste of tamales without all the prep work by making this yummy Green Chile & Corn Tamale Bake.
Or, add some of the Fajita Seasoned Shredded Chicken and now you have a Chicken Tamale Bake. Either recipe is sure to be a hit with your guests!
Round out your menu by making this flavorful Fiesta Corn Fideo. It’s the perfect side dish to compliment any Mexican meal and is so fast and easy to prepare in the electric pressure cooker. If you like Spanish rice you are going to love Fideo!
No Mexican Fiesta is complete without chips and salsa! Our tasty Super Simple Salsa is a must have to go along with your favorite tortilla chips. For added fun, we like to serve our chips in an authentice sombrero that is covered with plastic wrap. And you can’t forget the drinks! We recommend margaritas and a variety of Mexican beer for the adults plus cans of Mexican soda and juice for the kids.
Serve the food in brightly colored Mexican dishes and pottery. Be sure to check thrift stores and garage sales to find pieces you can use. To complete the party atmosphere, decorate with tissue paper flowers, a pinata and a colorful table runner then turn on some Mariachi music to kick the party into high gear! In no time at all you will be creating memories for the whole family!
