Are you celebrating Cinco de Mayo over the coming days? I hope so!
It’s a great opportunity to make something NEW for your friends and family. Here’s a list of recipes that meet that requirement but also won’t keep you in the kitchen for too long.
I hope you find a keeper here. Enjoy!

At the very least, you’ve got to make some homemade Salsa! This is the perfect candidate for a NEW Salsa in your life — combine tomatoes and tomatillos in the same Salsa and you’ll get a deliciously unique flavor.
This Easy Breakfast Burrito would be perfect for the weekend! The Homemade Jalapeno Sauce is a real treat and it has taken up permanent residence in my fridge 🙂
This is a cheesy, chipotle-infused concoction that quickly disappears once it’s on the table so be sure to grab a few bites! I really like the hint of Mexican oregano in this dip, but you can consider it optional if you don’t have any.
Avocado Salsa Verde is a great recipe to have in your arsenal! These Chicken Tacos take full advantage of that creamy green goodness you see in the pic below. So good!
This is a fiery soup so consider yourself warned! I like serving it up with some crispy cheesy mini quesadillas🙂
You will never go wrong with Queso Dip, and this recipe is the Queso Dipper I rely on the most 🙂
You could easily celebrate Cinco de Mayo by putting some Poblanos in the oven, sitting on the couch, and enjoying the smell coming from the kitchen. But you can also use them to make some Quick Vegetarian Stuffed Poblanos 🙂
This has become one of the most popular recipes on the site! It’s a great one-pot meal — with minimal effort you get a savory meal that really hits the spot. And yes, the rice is dee-licious.
Ground Beef Tostadas are willing to provide you loads of quick meals! I like topping them with a Homemade Salsa, and you can consider the rest of the fixings negotiable.
These Tostadas take full advantage of that unique Chile Verde flavor — make a big batch and you’ll be munching on these all week long. You can also make your own Tostada shells by plopping some oil-rubbed tortillas in the oven for a bit.
Got a big group to feed? As written this recipe will make Guac and Salsa for 10-20 people — and they will love you for not serving them store-bought Salsa 🙂
Freshly made Pico de Gallo works wonders in burritos! It’s one of my secret weapons and this simple Chicken Burrito has become a regular part of my weeknight meal routine.
This is a great recipe for a soul-warming batch of Mexican Bean Soup. As you might have guessed, I really like dipping crispy cheesy tortillas in this soup 🙂
Fast, easy, and delicious…how can you beat that? Salsa de Aguacate is super easy to make and it will quickly turn your tacos into a masterpiece — I used chicken for this batch but feel free to sub your preferred protein source.
Okay, got some NEW ideas for Cinco de Mayo?!
I hope one of these recipes brings some good eats to your home over the coming days.
Enjoy!!
Still hungry?!
