Cinco de Mayo, which translates to “the fifth of May” is a holiday commemorating the historic victory of the Mexican army over the larger French forces in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. It’s a significant event in Mexican history, but interestingly enough, the holiday is more widely celebrated in the US, especially in Southern California where we live. The day now has become synonymous with honoring Mexican culture and heritage. If you’ve ever been in Los Angeles on Cinco de Mayo, you know it’s an all out party throughout the whole county!
So, if you’re wanting to cook up a storm, here are 25 Mexican-inspired recipes to celebrate Cinco De Mayo.
