Cinco de Mayo is a great “party” holiday. First of all, there’s the built in excuse to make Margaritas. Second of all, almost everyone loves Mexican food. I’ve put together a collection of some of my favorite Cinco de Mayo recipes to help you plan your fiesta menu.

Cinco de Mayo Recipes

Get ready to party! Choose your favorite recipes form this collection to plan the perfect fiesta.

Mexican Sangria Made with Tequila

We discovered "Mexican" sangria while on vacation in Tulum, Mexico. I make it with rose wine, fresh fruit and a little tequila for the "Mexican" flavor. The perfect drink for a Cinco de Mayo party.

Pulled Pork Tacos with Grilled Peach Salsa

One of my all-time favorite recipes on the blog. Grilled peaches add just enough sweetness to the smoky, spicy taco filling. The same recipe can be made with grilled pineapples in place of the peaches.

Flourless Mexican Hot Chocolate Cake

Spicy Sweet with a hint of cinnamon, hot pepper and tequila. Served with amazingly delicious tequila-spiked cinnamon whipped cream.

Habanero Brownies

Rich chocolate brownies with a kick of habanero heat! Easy to make and the perfect Cinco de Mayo recipe.

Margarita Pie

A crunchy graham cracker crust is filled with tequila-spiked lime custard! Key Lime Pie meets your favorite classic margarita.

Fried Peach Hand Pies Spiked with Tequila

If it's got tequila in it why not serve it for Cinco de Mayo? The tequila really helps bring out the flavors in the peach filling.

Skillet Cornbread with Jalapenos and Cheddar

A super easy and quick bread that's made in a cast iron skillet. The perfect side to your Mexican fiesta.

Jalapeno Sourdough Corn Bread

This bread would be perfect on your Cinco de Mayo table. Fresh corn, jalapenos and cheese come together for a rich and tasty bread.

Salud!

    Okay, I know it has passed but o-m-g these Cinco de Mayo recipes are out of this world!! Those Tequila Peach Hand Pies are something I would make anytime, and if we are being honest so is that Sangria (I loooove that you use a rose…my go to for sure). I have quite a few events this summer where I see these being a huge hit!

      We discovered the “Mexican” sangria on vacation last year. We made it all summer long and I’ve already stocked up on tequila and rose to enjoy it again this summer.
