Are you celebrating Cinco de Mayo this weekend? 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 long.
I hope you find a guard here. Enjoy!

At the very least, you have to make homemade salsa! This is a perfect candidate for the NEW salsa in your life – combine tomatoes and tomatoes in the same salsa and you get a unique flavor.
This Easy Breakfast Burrito would be perfect for a Sunday morning! Homemade Jalapeno sauce is a real treat and has permanently settled in my fridge 🙂
This is a cheesy chipotle concoction that disappears quickly once it’s on the table, so be sure to grab a few bites! I really like the hint of Mexican oregano in this sauce, but you can consider it optional if you don’t have it.
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 picture below. So good!
This is a fiery soup, so consider yourself warned! I like to serve it with crunchy mini cheese quesadillas🙂
You can never go wrong with Queso Dip, and this recipe is my go-to Queso Dipper 🙂
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 quick vegetarian 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 delicious meal that really shines. And yes, the rice is delicious.
Ground Beef Tostadas are ready to give you a bunch of quick meals! I like to top them with homemade salsa, and you can decide on the rest of the fixings.
These Tostadas take full advantage of that unique Chile Verde flavor – make a big batch and munch on them all week long. You can also make your own Tostada shells by lightly placing a few oil-rubbed tortillas in the oven.
Have a large group to feed? As written, this recipe will make Guac and Salsa for 10-20 people — and they’ll love that you’re 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 Sunday meal routine.
This is a great recipe for a soul-warming Mexican bean soup. As you might have guessed, I really like to dip crispy cheese tortillas into this soup 🙂
Quick, easy and delicious…how can you beat that? Salsa de Aguacate is super easy to make and will turn your tacos into a masterpiece in no time — I used chicken for this batch, but feel free to substitute your preferred protein source.
Okay, so you have some NEW ideas for Cinco de Mayo?!
I hope one of these recipes brings some good food into your home this weekend.
Enjoy!!
Still hungry?!
