Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner so today I wanted to share a fun recipe to use at your Cinco de Mayo party. I wanted to change things up and not go with a traditional taco recipe but share a recipe for Taco Salad using Old El Paso taco shells. This is a recipe that my Aunt Kellie always makes and everyone loves it.

Do you have a party for Cinco de Mayo? Throwing a party can be really stressful so before I share the Taco Salad recipe I wanted to share a few party planning tips in addition to this delicious recipe for your party and how you can use Old El Paso and Avocados from Mexico to help freshen up your fiesta!

1. Pick a theme– Obviously in this case Cinco de Mayo is your theme. But will you have a specific color scheme? Will you focus on food or games or drinks? So many fun things to choose and having a theme always helps me in picking out decorations and planning.

2. Pick your decorations– I have a hard time envisioning stuff sometimes so I end up with a lot of choices but I save my receipts. I love putting it all out and seeing how it all comes together.

3. Get your basic supplies– Plates, bowls, cups, silverware and napkins. Do you have things to hold your drinks and ice? Think through which food and drinks you are serving and figure out which serving dishes and utensils you will need.

4. Decide on food and drinks– When having a party food and drink is pretty important, especially on Cinco de Mayo. Guacamole is a perfect option for a dip recipe using Avocados from Mexico. Tyler has become a huge fan of guacamole lately and it’s so simple to make!
