Shouldn't Mexican Month Be in May?

Oh boy! This month our sponsors were Herdez® and Sauza®! Salsa and tequila oh my! I honestly believe that these should have been sponsors for May with Cinco De Mayo and all, but I guess if you have time to figure your stuff out in April, then you'll be able to have one kick ass Cinco De Mayo party!

Moving right along... Herdez® sent us two bottles of two different flavors of cooking sauce. They also sent us awesome tortilla warmers as you can see in the picture!

For Herdez®, we were supposed to make our own recipe using one of the two types of cooking sauces we were given. I was getting slightly sick of chicken and beef and I went Mexican (which I'm sure seems...predictable). I chose turkey. I know that's close to chicken but still slightly different! My recipe that is now posted on AllRecipes® is Turkey Tomatillo Verde. I thought it turned out really well. Between the fajita mix, sour cream and tomatillos verde cooking sauce it was amazing!

Sauza® sent us a bottle of their new Blue Agave Tequila. Tequila is my favorite liquor period so I could have drunk it straight but alas, we had to make up to three margaritas from this list on AR. Because I love fruit, I chose the Strawberry Sauza®-Rita and Merry Mango Sauza®-Rita. They were both delicious but I have to say that the Strawberry was my favorite. I liked that you could taste the alcohol and the strawberry flavor but it wasn't overpowering. With the Mango drink, the mango didn't come through so well.

I enjoyed the projects for this month. Anything with alcohol is fine by me and I walked away with a new simple recipe that my family loved. Since I can switch out the turkey for chicken, I can also make this with regular chicken breasts and have a quick and simple meal on one of our many rushed baseball nights!
