I love celebrating Cinco de Mayo in our house. This year it lands on a Friday which means the tacos and margaritas will be flowing.
Are you looking for some great recipes to have for Cinco de mayo? Look no further than this article right here.
Lets start with some drinks shall we
Watermelon Lime Margarita
These watermelon lime margaritas are made with fresh watermelon and lime. Making them a light not to sweet drink. This drink hides the taste of the tequila so much its actually a little dangerous in the best way.
Make them individually or double and triple the recipe for a crowd. You will be the hit of the night.
Pineapple Jalapeno Margaritas
These pineapple jalapeño margaritas are by far my favorite! They are actually the first margaritas I made when I started hosting Cinco de mayo, and they were a hit!
These are a bit time consuming as far as prep and steps are concerned. To be honest I would do 100 more steps if it meant these were my end result.
Fresh Home made Tortillas
Every good taco, burrito, or quesadilla starts with a great tortilla. Make these fresh and impress even yourself with how easy they are to make. Even more than that how freaking delicious they are!
When I started making my tortillas at home I was converted for life. no more store bought tortillas for me. Celebrate this Cinco de mayo with a great foundation of tortillas.
Pork and Pineapple Tacos
If you have a pack of ground pork at home and your not sure what to do with it. I highly recommend these pork and pineapple tacos.
They are a great way to stay cost effective. Make a dish that is packed with so much flavor, you will be surprised that it wasn’t that expensive to make. Even ground pork can be delicious when prepared with the right ingredients.
Pineapple pulled Pork
An alternative to the quick and simple ground pork recipe above. You can take your time and make this simply juicy, tender and delicious pineapple pulled pork recipe.
This is definitely a make ahead way to go. Since you will want to let it sit in the brine over night. When I tell you its worth it I truly mean it.
Shrimp Tacos
Take your taco night in a different direction. Make these simple yet amazing Shrimp Tacos. the flavor packed onto every individual shrimp is unmatched.
These tacos are also lighter in your stomach if you’re looking to have something to eat that will fill your stomach when you’re hungry but keep room for the many margaritas you plan on enjoying.
Lime Coconut Crinkle Cookies
Always end the night with something sweet. Make these lime coconut crinkle cookies for desert this Cinco de mayo and you will not ne disappointed.
These cookies are just the right amount of sweet with a hint of tartness that come with the fresh lime. They melt in your mouth they are so soft and tender.
