Cinco de Mayo is coming up rapido, and we’re ready to put on our sombreros and get our fiesta on!
Americans have warmly embraced this Mexican celebration, which celebrates the defeat of the French army in Puebla on May 5th of 1862. We’re all about fighting oppression, of course, but above all, we’re all about two things: delicious foods and copious amounts of tequila and cerveza.
To celebrate this Cinco de Mayo, we’ve brought together some of the most incredible food ideas from our favorite food bloggers. We have 10 amazing Cinco de Mayo recipes to share with you, so grab your amigos, a bottle of tequila, your most colorful serve-ware, and viva Mexico!
It’s all about fresh ingredients, lots of cheese, and a good amount of spice for these Cinco de Mayo dishes and drinks. We chose two different types of tacos – classic Tacos Al Pastor recipe and a healthier Fish Tacos option. For sides, we went with fresh Cilantro Lime Rice and some mouthwatering Beer Battered Bean and Cheese Stuffed Poblano Chiles.
You’ll need some traditional salsas, like a classic Pico de Gallo and Salsa Verde, and it wouldn’t be a true fiesta without nachos and guac, so we found you an amazing Sriracha Guacamole recipe and Pulled Pork Nachos that will leave you thanking Dios. Melted cheese with tequila? Si, por favor! This Queso Fundido With Poblano Chorizo and Tequila recipe has it all. Finally, a great Margarita recipe to wash it all down! Happy Cinco!
