Instructions:
Print FREE CINCO DE MAYO PRINTABLES
(can print on cardstock, sticker paper, photo paper, and more)!
Cut logos out with scissors for square shapes, or 2″ craft punches for circles or scallops
Seal bags (I used tape) and containers to dress up your chips & salsa.
*Tip: Nashville Wraps have great pricing for clear cello bags, and go to a local take-out restaurant and ask for the cups if you can’t resource cups from restaurant supply stores. (Doesn’t hurt to ask)!
I used a 2″ scallop craft punch for the bag and 2″ circle craft punch for the salsa.
Use these party logos on a sack lunch, or tie to a margarita glass… put them on toothpicks and stick in your favorite Mexican appetizer!
I love fresh salsa and thought I would share my home-made recipe:
———————————————————————————–
Ingredients:
ripe tomatoes – a large handful – diced
1 green pepper – diced
1 red pepper – diced
1 jalapeno pepper – diced (be careful not to touch the seeds, and then touch your eye – it will burn!) – for extra hot, add some crushed red pepper flakes
2-3 limes – squeezed in bowl
a bunch of fresh chopped cilantro
1 garlic clove – minced or pressed
olive oil – a couple swirls
salt, pepper, garlic salt
Mix all ingredients together – use salt/pepper/garlic salt to taste.
This is not an exact science…. but it is a wonderful blend of hot, sweet & salty.
This is also a great recipe for those who do not like onions (like myself)!!!

Hello!
I’m from Mexico and I love your page from there I found many ideas that are are super beautiful with every single detail. I know that in USA consider the May 5 as important Mexican holiday, but actually more Nostros celebrate the September 16th is the day of the Independencia of Mexico, and for you is the July 4, on May 5 in Mexico is concocido as the Battle of Puebla and usually only takes place in a state in Mexico called Puebla. Greetings, kisses and blessings. Take care.
Great post! Many thanks for the recipe and the printables. Great job! 🙂
Thank you so much. I will be using these next weekend for a youth party at church. Appreciate your work!
This is too cute. Now i have something cute to make for my potluck at work! THANKS LADIES!!! YOU ROCK!
How fun! I am going to a Cinco De Mayo party this weekend.
How long does the salsa last? Like, if I make it wednesday will it last til Sat?
Hi Stevie – when I make my salsa, we eat it the same day or the next day…. I’ve never had it last more than 2 days b/c we eat it all! I would make it the day before your event…. It’s all fresh ingredients so it’s better the first or second day.
Thanks!
Adria
