Rockfish Enchiladas

Hi, friends. I’m thinking ahead to a FUN Cinco de Mayo Supper Party, where the table is set with vibrant Mexican colors of red, yellow, orange, and green, using repurposed cans for flower vases, and the “star” of the party is my Rockfish Enchiladas! Today I’m using Cholula Hot Sauce in this delicious recipe, and I’m super excited to show you all the amazing flavors they now carry!

Rockfish Enchiladas

Cholula hot sauce.

Cholula Hot Sauce Original is all about Flavor, Fire and Fun–which was perfect for the supper I was serving. The original flavor has a delicious blend of piquin peppers, chile arbol and signature spices that enhance food flavors without overpowering them.

Add it to the recipe. Or serve it on the side, letting guests fire up their own servings.

My friend, Ree, recently told me “Cholula is nectar of the fire gods.” :) Amen!

Supper party.

In the meantime, are you set for Cinco de Mayo? What are your plans? Do you need some tips? A Cinco De Mayo Party (Spanish for the “fifth” of May) is a fun way to bring people together, celebrating Mexican heritage and pride, with an inexpensive meal and fun party atmosphere that includes vibrant colors and lively music!

Most people love Mexican food, using the same ingredients for tacos, enchiladas, taco salad, burritos, and tostados, simply served 5 different ways! I say make it a “potluck supper party” where everyone brings a dish!

This time I changed up the ingredients a bit and used Rockfish! Bake the fish until nice and flakey, then add the other ingredients, stuffing and rolling the tortillas, ending with delicious cheese melted on top! It’s really that easy!

Cinco de Mayo.

In every Cinco de Mayo celebration you’ll find the same sombreros, pinatas, drinks, food, and, of course, fiesta music playing in the background. But here’s a fun tip: If you’re serving margaritas, send guests home with the margarita glass that they’ll be using for the night, for a festive party favor!
