20 Amazing Cinco de Mayo Recipes

Over 20 recipes perfect for Cinco de Mayo, from appetizers to desserts! 

Mexican food and beer has a very special place in my heart. Since Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, I thought I’d share some of my favorite Cinco de Mayo recipes from other bloggers!

I have my fair share of Cinco de Mayo recipes on this blog, like Mexican Corn Casserole, Slow Cooker Pork Pozole, Mexican Chicken Flatbread with Elote Sauce, The Best Esquites Recipe (Street Corn Salad), 5 Ingredient White Queso Dip (Queso Blanco), Pico de Gallo with Avocado, and these Crispy Shrimp Tacos which are one of my most shared recipes!

Oh, and my husband’s favorite Sopa de Lima. Yep, I think that’s what we’ll make for Cinco de Mayo this year!

I always love a good reason to celebrate with food and drink, so join me in grabbing a margarita (try this Mezcal Margarita) or cerveza this Cinco de Mayo and cooking up one or more of these delicious recipes!
