Cinco de Mayo is a time to celebrate Mexican culture with tasty dishes and drinks. From the classic taco recipes, to margaritas, to a whole slew of salsas, these recipes are the perfect way to spice up your fiesta.
Here are a few Cinco de Mayo recipes you’ll love.
First things first: the booze. There’s no better opportunity for a delicious margarita than a Cinco de Mayo celebration. This year, try a variety of twists on the classic Margarita.
The delicious jalapeño margarita has a spicy flair, while the grapefruit margarita adds a slight bitterness that perfectly balances out the drink. For our healthier drinkers: try the green kale margarita for a leafy green twist.
Salsa is a Cinco de Mayo must. There’s no such thing as a good Mexican meal with chips and salsa on the side! These three salsa recipes are our favorites: one red, one green, and one a little bit sweet.
First up is our roasted tomato salsa with jalapeños for a bit of spice. Our herb-infused salsa verde is a tangy sauce that’s delicious for dipping or marinating. Then, try our sweet strawberry salsa with a bit of honey and a bit of spice.
Guacamole is in its own league of dip. Whether you’re dipping tortilla chips, carrot sticks, or fajitas, this guacamole recipe is a must. Creamy and tangy, this guacamole recipe adds fresh cilantro to seal the deal.
An array of tacos is a must for any Cinco de Mayo celebration (especially since Cinco de Mayo falls on Taco Tuesday this year). These 5 taco recipes are the ones we return to over and over again — from Baja shrimp tacos, to Texas Chile short rib, to a vegetarian taco.
If you’re feeling fancy, go the whole hog this Cinco de Mayo by cooking Chicken Enchiladas Verde. This recipe is the traditional version with a fresh tomatillo sauce and a savory chicken filling. The secret to the sauce is using your fresh oregano harvests!
