Happy Cinco de Mayo

Today's Celebration
For the most part, the holiday of Cinco de Mayo is more of a regional holiday in Mexico, celebrated most vigorously in the state of Puebla. There is some limited recognition of the holiday throughout the country with different levels of enthusiasm, but it's nothing like that found in Puebla.

Traditional Mexican dancersCelebrating Cinco de Mayo has become increasingly popular along the U.S.-Mexico border and in parts of the U.S. that have a high population of people with a Mexican heritage. In these areas the holiday is a celebration of Mexican culture, of food, music, beverage and customs unique to Mexico. 

Commercial interests in the United States and Mexico have also had a hand in promoting the holiday, with products and services focused on Mexican food, beverages and festivities, with music playing a more visible role as well. Several cities throughout the U.S. hold parades and concerts during the week following up to May 5th, so that Cinco de Mayo has become a bigger holiday north of the border than it is to the south, and being adopted into the holiday calendar of more and more people every year.


So today I am making my special Chicken Fajita Wrap to Celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Plus on the side salsa dip with tortilla chips.

Wet lightly both side of Fajita Style tortillas. Dice or slice the cooked chicken and place on the tortilla with shredded cheddar cheese. In the microwave melt the cheese remove and top with lettuce and sour cream. you can serve with fried rice on the side or put inside the wrap.
