Mexican Chicken Salad Tacos

Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone! I hope you’re having a great day celebrating with tacos, sombreros and maybe some margaritas! 😉

I started my Cinco De Mayo bright and early grilling  corn on my balcony at 6 AM while preparing for my appearance on San Diego 6 News.

Chicken Salad Tacos

I joined my friends at San Diego 6 this morning to prepare a Gluten Free Cinco De Mayo feast.

The feast was complete with Blackberry Jalapeño Margaritas, Avocado Tacos, Deconstructed Mexican Street Corn and Buffalo Chili Lime Shrimp Lettuce Wraps from my cookbook Buffalo Style.
