12 Cinco de Mayo Recipes

Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo. This holiday is observed in Mexico to commemorate the Mexico army's victory at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, where they defeated the French. The Mexican army was outnumbered 2-to-1 and were not as well-equipped as the French army, so this was a huge victory. A lot of people mistake Cinco de Mayo for Mexico's Independence Day, but it's not, it's actually September 16.
