This Cinco de Mayo do it up big time with Modelo and Corona paired with our super 'lish Cinco de Mayo Tex-Mex Burrito Sushi Rolls! Perfect match!

Summer is right around the bend

Yes, it’s true, and you know what that means don’t you? For me, nothing goes better with summertime than ice-cold beer and good food. Take our Cinco de Mayo Tex-Mex Burrito Sushi Rolls, well, don’t take them literally because we’re kinda partial to our burrito sushi rolls. But we will share the recipe with you. Deal? Deal! And we like to think that nothing goes better with our Tex-Mex foodie creations better than Corona and Modelo beer! Yes, ice-cold beer and good food is kinda a no-brainer. But for me, this isn’t just about pairing good food with a great beer. There’s a story here, and it has my name written all over it.

Way back in the day

I started drinking Corona on the recommendation of a friend. And now Corona is one of my favorite beers to have on deck when the temperatures begin to rise right along with the barbecue smoke (more on the barbecue smoke thing later).

Recipes to go with Corona Beer

Word of mouth and Mr. O’Brien

So, when my friend who shall not be named (Mr. O’brien you know what you did) also suggested I give Modelo a try, I knew he wouldn’t lead me astray.  Modelo Especial is another great beer, and it is “brewed with a fighting spirit,” which is saying a lot, and I enjoy this type of light and easy drinking Cerveza. It delivers a bit of corn taste and light malt on the palate. It’s pale golden color signals to me that it is going to go done smooth, and when poured against the inside of the glass it builds a respectable foamy head. And like the Corona, I prefer a squeeze of fresh lime.

And another reason why…

When you’re enjoying good food, I don’t want a beer that is going to fill me up. So, basically no stout or heavy beers. Corona Extra and Modelo Especial are great choices because they’re both light and well within the requirements of what a session beer should be, easy to drink and under 5% a (Modelo Especial ABV (alcohol by volume) 4.40%, Corona Extra ABV 4.60%. Perfect. So, eat, drink, and make merry!

    Oh I HAVE to make these!! I generally keep a bottle or two of Corona (it’s a NY thing) in my pantry. Whenever I do something like crab legs, I add it in there. I’m however in love with those sushi rolls.
