Cinco de Mayo recipes
My cookbook club is celebrating Cinco do Mayo, and I am drawing a blank on what to bring. Any favourite recipes? Gluten free preferred. Vegetarian recipes welcome (there is one vegetarian in our group) but not necessary. Somewhat authentic or with a good story behind the recipe will help make it easier for me to talk about why I chose that recipe. Appetizer, main, salad, dessert...any category is good. I appreciate your ideas, recipes, or any links you might have.

Re: Cinco de Mayo recipes
Dos Equis and Margaritas say Cinco de Mayo to me.
Sorry, I'm not much help, huh? I'm an avid cook and an incorrigible baker, so usually i've got a dozen ideas. But Mexican appetizers (guac, tacos, etc.) and alcoholic drinks are all I've ever had for Cinco de Mayo. Oh, and Birthday Cake - one of the kids in my Sunday school class had a May 5 birthday. I'm going to think about it, though and see if I can come up with any ideas. It sounds like fun.

I would do a good guacamole or tacos. Shrimp or fish tacos could be really good. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

Re: Cinco de Mayo recipes
I'm going to look at shrimp taco recipes...and I'll also look up Dos Equis.

Re: Cinco de Mayo recipes
...and not gluten free. I was hoping it was a cocktail. I might need to make shrimp tacos!

Re: Cinco de Mayo recipes
Shrimp tacos sound yummy.
Any kind of Mexican or Mexican-American food is good for Cinco de Mayo. Tacos, enchiladas, beans and rice, chips and salsa. If you want easy but interesting, maybe a unique salsa such as a fruit salsa. If you want to be extra, make mole. It's a very authentic Mexican fiesta food. (If you don't know it it's an amazing sauce. I've always had it with chicken. Traditionally it's very labor-intensive but there are easier versions.) If you're looking for a dessert, maybe rice pudding. Red, white, and green gelatin or popsicles are popular where I live.
