Cinco de Mayo Recipe Favorites


Raise your hand if you could use a margarita! These trying times are driving everyone to drink, I think.  But my arm never has to be twisted to enjoy a really good from scratch margarita. Thank goodness for Cinco de Mayo, we can all indulge. These recipes will tantalize your tastebuds, and inspire your own 
Taco Tuesday.



HERE: 17 Ways To Celebrate

Mezcal-Marinated Fajitas
A dish with a smoky, earthy flavor from the mezcal, while the fish sauce adds a little funk and saltiness. Interesting!

Mango Margarita
Margaritas need to be shaken, not stirred. Made with fresh mangoes, lime juice, tequila and Cointreau. Doesn't it look delish?

Insta Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup
This Mexican favorite is made in a flash. It's topped off with crunchy baked tortilla strips, greek yogurt, avocado, and cotija cheese for an easy, gourmet meal at home! 

Spicy Fish Tacos With Tequila Lime Pineapple
My favorite taco always includes fish or seafood. Just by the title of the recipe alone, I can tell it is a winner. Adding the sweet pineapple to the spices is a wonderful idea, and will 
balance the flavors.

Whole Roasted Chipotle Salsa Cauliflower
Roasted Cauliflower is a staple at my home. The trick to the beautiful brown color is "What's Gaby Cooking, Salsa & Guacamole Starter," at Williams Sonoma. Of course, you can make your own salsa like I would. Get the recipe at..
Bakers Royale

Spicy Rosemary Rhubarb Margarita
Homemade rhubarb syrup brings just the right amount of sweetness to this 
chic cocktail!
Adventures In Cooking

Mexican Quinoa Salad Cups 
Gluten Free 
How pretty, right? This beautiful salad is topped with a dairy free cilantro dressing. A perfect dish as an appetizer or a light entree.

Spicy Pineapple Paloma
This recipe is by Ted Gibson at The Pony Room at Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa. The spicy details are only in the garnish.

Fresh Mango Salsa
With only six ingredients, this salsa is simple yet delicious. The perfect blend of sweet and spicy.

Five Minute Smoky Chipotle Dressing Dairy Free
"Not only is it the perfect balance of smoky, sweet, and spicy, but it requires just 1 bowl, 5 minutes, and 6 simple ingredients." Sounds a good dip for tortilla chips, too.
Minimalist Baker

Classic Flan
A Spanish and Latin American favorite.  If made correctly made, it is silky smooth and sweet.

A Cozy Kitchen

Shrimp Cerviche
Oh how I love any kind of Cerviche. This one just takes minutes to make, and it is filled with bold and zesty flavors.
Dinner At The Zoo

Killer Guac Three Ways
There are many things I would not buy pre-made...actually I buy nothing pre-made. But if I was to say which item I would never buy packaged, it would be guacamole. Can you just imagine the preservatives they must use to keep the color? These three recipes are all gorgeous and ever so easy! And all three are presented beautifully like above.
Feasting At Home

Chipotle Mahi Mahi Burrito Bowl
What makes this bowl stand apart from others is the addition of not just rice, but coconut lime rice, strawberries and mango salsa. What a
 creative combination!
Half Baked Harvest

Crispy Pork Belly Tacos with 
Pico de Gallo
Chef Enrique Olvera stuffs tacos with crispy pork belly, confited in fat, and serves them with a tangy salsa spiked with Mexican beer. Doesn't that just sound yummy?
Food and Wine

Lime and Coconut Tres Leche Cake
Doesn't this just sound wonderful? The recipe has been changed up and improved with coconut milk, instead of the  classic cake made with whole milk.

Chipotle Beer Shrimp Quesadillas 
 The quesadillas are  stuffed with shrimp mango and tomatoes.  And best yet, you make them in a skillet, No need to turn on the oven. This is a good one, people!
How Sweet Eats

Tequila Sunrise
This has been my drink of choice in the past. I think I liked it because they are so pretty.  And they couldn't be 
easier to make!
