Cinco de Mayo Party

 

For Cinco de Mayo, we had a taco bar feast. I made quinoa, rice, taco meat, and added all of the toppings for tacos. I also found a bag of crunchy churros from Sam's Club. We had non-alcoholic margaritas and made fried ice cream. 

Add 1/4 cup butter to a pan and melt that. Add 3 cups crushed cornflakes and 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Sauté the mixture over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Let the mixture cool. 

I used a large cookie scoop to dish out ice cream balls.  I put them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and put it in the freezer to let those harden. After the cornflake mixture was cooled, I put on disposable gloves and dipped each ice cream ball into the cornflake mixture. 

We topped them with hot fudge and whipped cream. 
We also made our own piñatas using toilet paper rolls and tissue paper. 
We started by cutting slits in pieces of tissue paper. Then we layered the colors of tissue paper around the toilet paper roll and secured them with hot glue. I put a scored piece of tissue paper over the bottom of the toilet paper roll. (Just cut an X in the tissue paper circle before you secure it to the bottom.) Attach a string or piece of ribbon to the bottom, taping the string/ribbon right over the X.  We put some candy in the toilet paper tube and hung it up. You just have to pull the string/ribbon and the candy will fall out.
