Cinco de Mayo Recipes
Are you wondering what else to serve on your menu for Cinco de Mayo? Of course you need to have those margaritas and a creamy corn and bean dip. Then I’d like to suggest a Walking Taco Bar or a variety of tacos. And we have several tacos for you to choose from, such as vegan, steak and fish, and cornbread will be a delicious side dish.
Kick off Cinco de Mayo with Jalapeno Cucumber Margaritas, a twist on the classic margarita cocktail. Spicy jalapenos and refreshing cucumbers flavor a margarita mixture lending the perfect balance of heat and coolness to our easy margarita recipe.
Our creamy Corn and Black Bean Dip is bursting with cheesy goodness and a hint of spice. Our easy corn and black bean dip, served with tortilla chips or fresh veggie dippers, is a hot dip with a silky texture from cream cheese and sour cream.
Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread is the perfect side dish for your Cinco de Mayo celebration and Taco Tuesday dinners. Our easy cornbread recipe starts with a mix and a few stir-ins give it extra flavor and texture.
Now you can eat a plant based diet and have your tacos too! Vegan Chickpea Tacos With Peach Salsa is an easy vegan recipe that’s packed with the protein of chickpeas and topped with a lime-scented fresh peach salsa!
Go for the beef and season slices of juicy skirt steak with a few basic spices and enjoy them nestled in a crunchy corn shell topped with a lime-scented mixture of fresh heirloom tomatoes. Spiced Skirt Steak Tacos are a party in your mouth with a burst of flavor in every bite!
Season and grill your favorite fish (mine is cod!) and top with a fresh Mango Pico De Gallo and Fish Tacos With Mango Pico De Gallo will be trending in your kitchen!
