Unique Mexican Recipes for Cinco de Mayo

April 30, 2018

Cinco de Mayo is this week and if you want the best Mexican recipes for a party then try any of these Unique Mexican Recipes for Cinco de Mayo and you will wow your party guests!

These Unique Mexican Recipes for Cinco de Mayo are perfect for party entertaining! Cinco de Mayo is coming up and it is the perfect time to try out some new Mexican recipes! While I love just plain ol’ beef tacos, I love trying creative Mexican recipes as well. Since I am a Spanish teacher, it is part of my job description to be well-versed in Mexican food right?? All in the name of research?

I’m not hating on the traditional taco. Who doesn’t love that crunchy shell, seasoned beef, and lots of cheese and sour cream?  I know that we do! But sometimes it is worth it to go outside of the shell and try something new. I have compiled a list of recipes that I think you will love! If you want to stick with taco, try my recipe for oven baked tacos! They are the easiest taco recipe ever!

What is Cinco de Mayo?

Did you know the true history of Cinco de Mayo has nothing to do with Mexican Independence and isn’t actually celebrated in most of Mexico?It celebrates the Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla. During the Civil Rights movement, Chicano (Mexican) leaders used Cinco de Mayo as a rallying day for Mexican-Americans to help celebrate their culture and heritage and it has caught on! So it really is about more than cerveza and margaritas! There’s your history lesson for the day!

Okay back to the food…pick any of these recipes for your Cinco de Mayo Menu and you will have happy and full party guests!
