Old El Paso Cinco de Mayo Broccoli Slaw!

Old El Paso Let’s Taco ‘Bout It, Chapter Six

How We Celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Old El Paso Broccoli Slaw! (Featured Image)

Last updated on November 10th, 2020 at 01:07 am

Cinco de Mayo’s such a strange celebration—it’s often confused with Mexico’s Independence Day (actually celebrated on September 16th); it’s not widely celebrated in Mexico at all (except for Puebla City, population 2.5 million); in fact—I’m not entirely sure most people know what it’s for (celebrating the Mexican Army’s victory over the ever-powerful French in 1862’s Battle of Puebla. The more you know, right?)

But though Cinco de Mayo isn’t exactly what we think it is, we shouldn’t let that put a damper on things—there’re plenty of ways to still celebrate it, including some delicious options from Old El Paso!

How We Celebrated Cinco de Mayo with Old El Paso Broccoli Slaw!—Broccoli Slaw Ingredients

The theme for the sixth and final Let’s Taco ‘Bout It post from this year spent with Old El Paso is celebrating Cinco de Mayo—because tacos make the fiesta better! Here in Toronto, we take this sentiment to heart as we start consistently seeing temperatures that support this city’s visceral craving for patio season. With our days of warm weather as limited as they are, we take this season seriously and have culture and cuisine that go right along with it.

This in mind, to rise to the challenge at Casa de Palmer we put a little Quick Broccoli Slaw together to ring in the season!

With some zesty Old El Paso Restaurante Salsa Picante added to the mix, it’s the perfect complement to any summer supper! In fact, you could try your hand at any of the previous meals we’ve  put together!

Closing—Old El Paso Let’s Taco ‘Bout It

If writing this series has taught me anything, it’s this—one can make anything from ingredients if they feel adventurous enough. A taco doesn’t have to stay a taco. A tortilla can become anything. And a burrito bowl is only as good as what you put into it—you just have to be willing to bend the rules and create something truly delicious!

Thanks for reading about my culinary adventure brought to you by Old El Paso—I hope it’s inspired you to take some cooking adventures of your own; life’s too short to eat bland food!

Enjoy your “comida” and until the next,

Chicken fajitas have been my favourite ever since my Girl Guide group introduced me to them when I was a teenager.

Nothing beats a good taco. Or fresh chips and salsa…or real nachos…

I like fajitas the best… something about sauteed onions and peppers, fresh salsa with cilantro, grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese, medium rare flank steak strips, and fresh shells… mmmm… so good!

I love most Mexican food, but a good enchilada makes me very happy.

I am all about burritos!!! we have them every week <3 my absolute fav

taco’s are my favourite , i love that you can use all kinds of topping to make them how you like them

I just love Burritos without the ‘spicy,’ more so than any other Mexican food. There’s something about the beans, meat, cheese & sauce that they use that leaves my mouth watering for more. And boy does my mouth ever water after munching down on a beef & bean burrito…….Yummy, Ole!!

We keep it simple when it comes to Mexican, tacos are a family favourite because everyone can add what they like to theirs.

I love soft tacos! We have made them with several types of ground meat including beef, turkey, venison and antelope. So good!

My favorite is tacos. Thanks for the opportunity to #win

Your Old El Paso Broccoli Slaw sounds delicious! I love making double decker tacos at home with the Old El Paso Taco kits. I warm one hard and one soft shell in the over and then spread melted cheese sauce on the soft shell to stick them together and fill with beef and yummy toppings! One of my favs! Taco Bell has one but they use refried beans to stick together. I’m not a fan personally so the cheese is my go to! Thanks so much CaseP!

My favourite mexican food is quesadilla can be just cheese or served with meat

love tacos loaded with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños, hot peppers and sals

I have to say I am a HUGE fan of bean tacos and fish tacos and….!!!!

If salsa were a food I chose that! but otherwise I absolutely love tacos! yum

so…today the entry form said I had zero entries cus I think what happened was when I originally entered, the email might have been my husbands gmail account (never thought about him not logging out and it causing issues) but as soon as I connected my twitter account it all came back..so, sigh, sorry about that

Love Burritos but can’t wait to try the new chicken tinga dinner …..luv the salsa and sour cream to add on top etc. sooooo yummy!!
