Cinco de Mayo Recipes

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 

Today commemorates Mexico’s victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862, but has also become a day to celebrate Mexican heritage more broadly, especially in the United States. 

We’re sharing a collection of some of our favorite Mexican recipes in honor of the holiday. Enjoy your tacos and margaritas today, and bookmark these delicious ideas for any day you want a fresh taste of Mexico on your table.

Salsa Roja

Native to Chihuahua in Northern Mexico, this salsa roja is the base for many Mexican cuisine staple dishes, including enchiladas, chilaquiles, chile colorado, and pozole.

Guajillo chiles are the foundation and are seasoned with garden herbs like Mexican Oregano, Thyme, Bay Leaf, and Garlic. If you've never played with whole chiles, this sauce is a great staple to learn.

Chile con Queso y Papas

This authentic Mexican dish, unfortunately almost impossible to find in restaurants, combines our Adobo with roasted Hatch green chiles, Poblano chiles, diced tomatoes, and Yukon gold potatoes in a saucy, cheesy delight. Get the recipe.
