How to Throw a Mexican Street Food-Inspired Cinco de Mayo Fiesta

We all know Cinco de Mayo is all about the food. I don’t feel bad saying so – the holiday commemorates the Mexican Army’s unexpected victory over France in the battle of Puebla (but, er, they surrendered a year later). It’s a holiday with little significance in Mexico outside of the state of Puebla, but in the U.S., we use it as an excuse to gorge on guacamole and margaritas.

Rhubarb Crisp

This crisp is everything a crisp should be: tender pieces of rhubarb in a thick sauce under a crunchy layer of streusel.
