No matter what your nationality, Cinco De Mayo is celebration worthy. The food is always flavor packed, and a little different than your average family dinner. The guacamole, margaritas, and tacos in this recipe roundup are guaranteed to spice up your celebration. Olé,
Tropical Margaritas
"Exotic tropical fruit and citrus pair perfectly with good tequila, triple sec, and orange blossom water in an Exotic Tropical Margarita... Mango, guava, or passionfruit make for a unique and delicious twist on a much-loved classic!" Um, can I try all three?
Lobster Guacamole
I think that I could eat this dish every single day. Better make plenty of you are inviting me over. Lobster? How could guacamole be any better?
Shrimp Tacos with Pineapple Salsa
We make shrimp tacos often. Shrimp really takes to the citrus and spices nicely! This recipe is chock full of complimentary flavors.
Bang Bang Cauliflower Tacos
I am a bit obsessed with cauliflower so this recipe had to be included. There is a very interesting ingredient, club soda!!
Vegan Black Bean Taco Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
I have been loving sweet potatoes lately, so this recipe caught my eye. They are said to be very satisfying, healthy and full of fresh flavor.
Coconut Cream & Lime Margarita
Anything with cream of coconut sounds creamy and yummy. As any good margarita does, this recipe calls for Cointreau.
Crispy Chipotle Chicken Wraps
How fun and a little different! A bit like a quesadilla, but fried. The spicy ranch sounds delish.
No Churn Churro Ice Cream
With no churn cinnamon ice cream, puff pastry churros, dulche de leche and true Mexican vanilla, this is a winning recipe. I use the same recipe but doubled, for the ice cream I make. Couldn't be easier. Yum!
Butternut Bakery Blog
This recipe combines two family favorites creating one tasty dish. It comes together in less than 30 minutes. Taco Tuesdays just got an upgrade.
Mexican Steak Cobb Salad
This beautiful salad is topped with a yummy cilantro dressing. By the way, I see no spicy ingredient that would make this salad "hot"
in any way.

Margarita Cake
This cake with its' homemade lime curd, takes a little time to put together, but it is totally worth it.
And yes, there is tequila in the mix. Don't you love a boozy dessert?
Mexican Ceviche
This low carb dish with fresh flavors makes the best lunch or appetizer.
Mezcal elevates any margarita. I couldn't believe the difference when I first tried one. That's where the smoke comes from. Unlike some margs, this one is not overly sweet, and uses fresh lime juice, not concentrate. Makes all of the difference.
Chicken Enchiladas With Roasted Tomatillos
What a pretty plate! It's a Rick Bayless recipe from Chicago's Frontera Grill. So you know it must be good.
A beautiful duo of good dark chocolate and spice. These are said to be super light and fluffy. Best yet, you bake them.
Pretty as a picture. The bean and corn salsa adds a beautiful color. The cilantro lime dressing adds the flavor.
Easy Carne Asada
An authentic recipe. The name really just means "grilled meat." A very important part of the preparation, is the citrus marinade. The ingredients are outrageously wonderful!
Nacho Pizza
What a fun idea! A terrific twist on a Mexican classic. Everyone will love this.

The Most Delicious Guacamole Ever
Don't you feel that everyone thinks their guac is the best ever? I know I do. This recipe has a secret ingredient. Can you guess what it is?
Tequila! Ole.
