Disclosure: I’ve partnered with Hormel Foods as part of the Hormel Foods Extended Family Blogger Program. Throughout the year I’ll be receiving product, coupons, giveaways and promotions. However, no payment was given or expected for posting about the program, and as always, all opinions given here are fully my own.

We love to celebrate Cinco De Mayo the best way we can. We sit down for a nice family diner with home made mexican food. My kids love tacos and burritos, but I decided to take it a step further this year.

In addition to tacos and burritos I made my own tostadas, using Hertz Corn tortillas.

I just followed a recipe on Hormel foods.
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup refried beans, heated
1 1/2 cups shredded lettuce
1/2 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
4 corn tortillas
Beef or chicken

Cook ground beef or chicken. I like to slow cook the chicken in Chi Chi’s salsa all day and then shred it when done.
In skillet, heat oil. Fry tortillas, 1 at a time, until crisp; drain on paper towels. Place tortillas on baking sheet; keep warm.
Spread warm refried beans on each tortilla; top with chicken or beef, lettuce and cheese. Serve with salsa, sour cream and guacamole, if desired.

To finish off our meal with we of course had chips and salsa, and Guacamole.

How did you celebrate Cinco De mayo?
