Cinco de Mayo already?! It seems like we just shook our margaritas (now made with smoky mezcal instead of tequila) and fired up our fajita pans for last year’s holiday. Today, indeed, marks the anniversary of the Mexican army’s victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. And we’ll join Mexican-Americans in celebrating with our some of our favorite Mexican grilled dishes and cocktails!
