Mouthwatering recipes to make for Cinco de Mayo

By: Canadianliving.com

Cinco de Mayo is an annual commemoration of the Mexican's army 1862 victory over France at the Battle of Puebla, but has evolved as more of a celebration of Mexican heritage and culture over time. Here, we've compiled a list of our favourite Mexican-inspired recipes that we're going to be making on May 5.

Mexican Grilled Cheese Sandwiches With Pico de Gallo

Our super-fresh twist on grilled cheese is bursting with tons of flavours like creamy guacamole, gooey cheese and spicy chorizo—perfect for celebrating Cinco de Mayo.

Huevos Rancheros Casserole

We've simplified traditional huevos rancheros by layering the ingredients in a zesty brunch casserole. Prep and assemble the night before so that all you need to do in the morning is crack the eggs, garnish and pop the casserole into the oven.

Guacamole

You need to serve up guacamole on Cinco de Mayo, and our recipe is truly the only one you'll ever need.

Grilled Corn With Sriracha Aioli

Grilled corn is the ultimate spring/summer side. Serve these up with our Sriracha Aioli — if raw eggs are a concern, substitute for prepared mayonnaise.

Beef Tacos With Avocado Crema

Tacos are a must for any Cinco de Mayo fiesta, and our Spicy Avocado Crema makes these tacos a little bit more exciting.

Pico de Gallo

Whip up this classic Mexican salsa of freshly chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice and salt. Serve with tortillas, tostadas, tacos or fried eggs.

Jalapeño Corn Fritters With Cilantro Sour Cream

Biting into the sweet, juicy kernels of fresh corn is a flavour explosion like no other. These corn fritters will be a huge hit at your Cinco de Mayo celebrations.
