As a blogger I should be better aware of upcoming events.
I’m not very good at it.
I didn’t realize that Cinco de Mayo was here until that very day!
It’s apparently past May 5, but I still wanted to post something Mexican to celebrate it.
So here it is. Tacos!
I kept these tacos vegan.
In these tacos you will find broccoli tempura, coleslaw, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, tahini mayo, and hot sauce.
Super tasty!
I bought these tortillas for the first time, and we loved them!
They do look and taste homemade.
I liked the slight chewiness.

There was a local festival to celebrate Cinco de Mayo yesterday.
There were long lines everywhere in front of food vendors, but we managed to get these.
And a display of low-riders is always a big part of the festival.
I’m on Instagram.
