Cinco de Mayo is Tuesday, May 5th. Any day is great to enjoy Mexican food, but delicious Mexican-themed Cinco de Mayo recipes are special. This year, the holiday is especially festive because it also falls on “Taco Tuesday”.
I have stopped preparing Taco Tuesdays this last couple of months simply because I have no longer had the energy for the prep work every week. I will be making tacos tomorrow though! I also asked my husband Reggie to get some avocados when he went shopping last Saturday. If they are ripe, I’ll make some guacamole.
If you’re looking for a way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo from home, I’ve got you covered with 10 Cinco de Mayo recipes – from margaritas to tacos and beyond. Enjoy!
