Over the years I’ve posted dozens of margarita recipes and quite a few taco recipes as well! Needless to say, I have quite the collection of Cinco de Mayo ready recipes and drinks that will help you celebrate. Here are some of my Favorite Recipes to Make for Cinco de Mayo…or any day for that matter!

I could eat an entire bowl of queso, anyone else? This is an easy 5-ingredient recipe to add to your party table.

My absolute favorite way to make guacamole for a crowd, or just for the four of us, loaded with fresh ingredients and topped with salty cotija cheese, cilantro and plenty of lime. Absolutely addictive!

All of the flavors and ingredients of Mexican street corn off the cob and in a bowl. This is a must make side dish for any Cinco de Mayo dinner.
