Cinco de Mayo is on Wednesday, May 5th. Any day is great to enjoy Mexican food, but delicious Mexican-themed Cinco de Mayo recipes are special.
If you’re wondering what to make for a virtual or at-home Cinco de Mayo celebration, I’ve got you covered with 10 Cinco de Mayo recipes. Recipes include popular favorites – margaritas, tacos, guacamole, salsa and more. I especially appreciate that I get to share recipes from top Mexican chefs Aarón Sánchez and Marcela Valladolid.
