Mexican Food is one of the few cuisines that the three of us love and one of the many foods that we could eat everyday. We have a favorite Mexican restaurant here in the city that we go to whenever we crave for this cuisine. Other than that, we have a simple recipe for tacos and nachos that we always prepare here at home. It’s one of our favorites to snack on or sometimes even have for lunch or dinner when life gets a little hectic.
With Cinco de Mayo a week away from today, I decided to browse for recipes online and round some ideas up. For a change, I want to prepare a different Mexican food this time other than just our own version of tacos or nachos. And since it’s Cinco de Mayo day, I think it’s just perfect to choose five recipes that I think would be really delicious.
Here’s the five Cinco de Mayo recipes that I think not only look delish, but I have no doubt they truly are delicious. Look at that! Don’t they look enticing? I’m getting hungry just looking at them and thinking about munching on ’em. 🙂 My husband and son are going to thank me for this, for sure. I’ll certainly not prepare all of them on Cinco de Mayo because there’s only the three of us. I would if we were going to have a party. LOL. But I haven’t decided yet which one I’m going to make first. Maybe I’ll let my boys decide. Hmm, I think that would be a great idea!

Have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend!
These recipes are awesome! I try to make at least two or three yummy recipes for every Cinco de Mayo. It’s the time of year where I REALLY go to town on the Mexican food.
That skillet pie sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing all these delicious recipes.
Om nom nom nom. This is a post full of Mexican food awesome! I must make ALL THE FOODS here. Thank you!
OH, em gee, I want to make all of these and I just might. I’d start with #3 because I love tamales and haven’t had any in some time now.
Oh yes, indeed I love Mexican food! We eat it about three times a week! Maybe too often lol. I would never pass it up if it were offered! We also visit MANY local Mexican restaurants and I am proud of my enchiladas that I make at home.
We are not celebrating Cinco De Mayo per say but we may go out to eat at one of our favorite places on the 5th!
These are great recipes for Cinco De Mayo. I will have to get the ingredients I need to make a few of these recipes.
I am excited to try the Mexican skillet Pie. I am sure it will be a big hit with my kids.
These all look like wonderful Cinco de Mayo recipes. The Mexican Skillet pie looks so good to me. I am definitely going to try that one first.
Oh yum!! All of these recipes sound simply delish. I am going to have to add a few of these to our celebration.
Mexican food is my favorite cuisine. It is hard to believe it is almost May. Where has this year gone?
We are making chicken fajitas tomorrow. I can’t wait. 🙂
That’s a lot of lovely recipes. We don’t usually cook a lot during Cinco de Mayo but I make sure to prepare dishes that the kids will love.
Thanks for the lovely ideas! I think it’s nice to be able to prepare dishes in celebration of Cinco De Mayo even if you’re not hosting a party!
We do a ton of Mexican food also, there are so many great flavors you can do with just a few basic ingredients.
All of these look good but that one with the cornbread is really calling my name.
With a household divided with Celiac, Mexican food is a favorite. I am excited to try some new recipes!
I love this. Our family loves Mexican foods. We will definitely be trying a few of these out. After all, who doesn’t love tortillas, salsa, and cheese.
I want to definitely try a few of those Mexican recipes, esp the Mexican skillet pie, it looks so good! I am a huge fan of Mexican food, the’ve got such great and fresh flavors : )
The Mexican lettuce beef wraps got my attention. I’ve been wanting to try that recipe for ages now!
