It’s so hard to believe that May is already here, which means its time to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. I recently had the opportunity to visit San Antonio and celebrate early with San Antonio’s Fiesta. The fiesta is a 10-day citywide party filled with cascarones, mariachis, folklorico dancers, parades, culture, art, and food galore. I used to live in San Antonio and I could not believe how much it has grown. I fell in love with the city all over again and was overwhelmed with the colorful history and cultural diversity.

While there I realized celebrations have a common theme — comida (food). And comida is what brings everyone together. As much as I wish I could take everyone on our exciting food and travel adventures the best we can do is share our food adventures with you via videos on our blog. And speaking of videos we have teamed with Denver Promo and will soon be sharing some of our very own cooking videos. Stay tuned!

Please sit back and enjoy this video showcasing avocados as an invited guest to a fiesta. Learn how to make a simple Portobello mushroom and avocado panini and see the beauty of keeping Latin traditions alive.
