One of the most iconic Cinco de Mayo recipes is the taco, a versatile dish that can be filled with an array of mouthwatering ingredients. Whether it’s carne asada, tender carnitas, flavorful grilled chicken, or even vegetarian options like roasted vegetables, tacos always offer a unique flavor.
Another beloved dish is the enchilada, with its simple yet satisfying blend of tender corn tortillas, savory fillings such as cheese, shredded chicken, or beef, and a rich sauce, all baked to perfection. For those seeking something lighter, fresh and zesty ceviche made with citrus-marinated seafood is a popular choice.
Inevitably, no Cinco de Mayo celebration is complete without guacamole—an appetizing dip made of ripe avocados, diced onions, fresh tomatoes, aromatic cilantro, tangy lime juice, and a hint of jalapeño for heightened zest.
