Here's a Cajun fave that is just perfect for your Cinco de Mayo celebration or anytime that you're in the mood for a sinfully delicious dish. Layers of scrumptious crawfish and cheese, with plenty of heat and topped with green onions. Well, it just doesn't get any better than that, cher! Enjoy!

1/2 cup green onions, sliced

Time for the Crawfish Festival!
The 51st annual Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival will kick off on Friday, May 6, at 5:00 pm and run through Sunday, May 8. Yes, another great festival! What started out as a small, hometown festival in the sixties, has grown into one of Louisiana's largest festivals and is one of my faves. There will be crawfish prepared every which way, and a stellar musical line-up, with 3 music stages and 3 straight days of live Cajun and Zydeco music. For a complete schedule, click here. See ya'll there!
And here's a little clip that I took at last year's festival of the high-spirited crowd, dancing a two-step to the spicy sounds of Steve Riley and the Mamou Playboys. Let the good times roll!
Wishing you all a fab weekend, filled with fun! Have all the fun you can, cher! Merci beaucoup for stopping by!
Time for Jazz Fest
And for those of you who are wondering if you should make the second weekend of Jazz fest in New Orleans or for those of you who would like to listen to a live broadcast of this fabulous festival, click here, to see a complete schedule.

happy cinco di mayo!:)cheeers!
I LOVEEEEE your cajun cinco twist! So great Marguerite! Thanks for sharing:)
Isn't it amazing how the small hometown festivals grow into big events over the years? We had an apple harvest festival that once started out as pretty much a few tents, a few rides, and apple pies every October. It has since grown to a premier event, taking over the town for a weekend every fall.
Looks like the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival is THE place to be this weekend!
Now this will surprise you, cher. You know - I have never eaten Crawfish so I cannot imagine what it tastes like. I am sure it is absolutely fabulous, particularly your recipe. I salute you my lady for not only staying the course for the 5 day festival, but writing it all up on your posts and sharing it with us. I think I shall call you Wonder Woman LOL. Until the next time at hyou blog or mine ~ your pal from across the pond, Eddie
I need to start looking for a house in Cajun country!! These look amazing!!!

I love reading your stories... thanks for the recipes, Its for sure, I am excited about trying it especially with the shrimp... sadly it is difficult to find crawfish where I live... So I have never tried them... ONE day.

Green tabasco in the Margaretta!!! Genius. Must try this

The enchiladas love wonderful. If only I had someone to provide the crawfish tails...I would eat them as I peeled them!
Ok your tartar sauce was such a hit with my family last weekend. We had a small amount of catfish leftover for sandwich the next day and the number one question was "do we have anymore tartar sauce" Now I know to double that recipe!

Hi Marguerite,
What a perfect blend of culture with your Crawfish Enchilada, it looks delicious. Now you know that I can't come to eat the "craw" without stopping to have a little dancing with you, I just love the music! My Granddaughter recently won the Crawfish eating contest, that girl can eat some craw. Hope you are having a great Mothers Day! Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope to see you next week!
Foodness Gracious- You really should and I know a good Realtor, if you're serious! :) Thanks, so glad you like them and hope you try them!

Tina- Hi and welcome! Thanks so much for the invitation and for stopping by! Sounds like a great party!
I am loving these enchiladas...my oldest son makes a great enchilada sauce, and way spicy so I love the idea of the creamy soup to balance :)
And of course a margarita any time :)
I knew my favorite party girl would come through with a perfect post no matter where I post or host the party! Cajun crawfish enchiladas, margaritas, and a festival! Any homes for sale in your neighborhood? I definitely want to be your neighbor :-)
Hello my Cajum friend! I cannot seem to log into any of your most recent posts. Was looking so forward to the Etoufee recipe. Did you shut your blog down? I must try the Enchiladas...yummy!
