Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner and the weather is getting warmer as we near summertime! That can only mean one thing; it’s time to celebrate! This year you can celebrate Cinco de Mayo with your friends and family by enjoing a Mexican style feast and taking advantage of the new CoronaRita at Chili's.
The part I am most excited about their fun beverages is that you can enjoy them a little bit more when your meal is under 750 calories! I love the option to be able to order from their "Lighter Choices" menu because I don't feel as bad when enjoying an ice cold cocktail or two. The "lighter choices" MARGARITA GRILLED CHICKEN would be a perfectly festive dish to try for Cinco de Mayo. The classic Margarita-flavored grilled chicken with hints of lime and citrus, served with rice, black beans, tortilla strips and house-made pico de gallo sound delish and just the right flavor combinations to pair fantasticly with the new CoronaRita Margarita available now at Chili’s.
The CoronaRita is the best of both worlds, ice cold beer and salty/sweet margarita. It takes adding a lime to your beer to a whole new level, made with Jose Cuervo Especial Tequila and an adorble little Coronita. It is like an perfect marriage of lime, beer and tequila all wrapped into one. Best of all it would go perfectly with the margarita grilled chicken I have my eye on! I think the combination of a citrus seasoned entree paired with the margarita would be a totally fabulous Cinco de Mayo pary in my mouth! And don't forget to try their lava dessert cakes. They are seriously one of my favorite desserts ever! I've got to recreate that chocolatey delicious treat one of these days!
