Honestly, I don't know much about Cinco de Mayo, but I do know that it's an amazing excuse to drink. DRINK. DRINK. DRINK. I know that my Hispanic neighbor's make it into a week long fiesta....so carry on through the week with these components and you'll have a TRUE FIESTA. What components make a FIESTA??!?!

Get Your GRUB On:

A fiesta means extreme everything; dancing, drinking, laughing, music and FOOD!!! Not to mention Mexican food is the BEST ON THE PLANET! Fill up your table and your bellies:

Empanadas
Sopes
Quesadillas
Sopapillas
Plantain Chips

2 plantains, greenish-yellow. Salt to taste.

Peel plantains and slice as thin as possible -less than 1/8 inch thick. Fry in hot oil until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Salt to taste. Serve immediately.
