Tacos del Peeps con Sombreros

Ole! Peeps con Sombreros rock these tacos.

Andelle! Andelle! Ariba! Ariba! Tacos del Peeps®  con sombreros!

C’mon cabelleros! Every day can be Cinco de Mayo, even May 5th, with these pequinos Peeps con sombreros en sus tacos. Sus Peeps y sus amigos will enjoy the fiesta feel this dish inspires. These south-of-the-border babies could be in a Mariachi band they’re so authentic — if they had the pretty shirts, decorative pants, boots, spurs, guitars, trumpets, talent, and a horse.

Estan muy hermoso in sus tacos. Vaya con Peeps!

Hint: refried beans are an excellent Peeps adhesive.

Sombrero Ingredients:
Lettuce
Strawberries
Toothpicks
First break the toothpicks in half and poke them into the top of the Peeps’ heads. With a pair of scissors, cut out circles of lettuce and spear them on the toothpick. Then cut off the pointy end of the strawberries and pop them on the top of the toothpick.
