Cinco de Mayo Recipes

It’s the grand finale of spring and the ultimate excuse to whip out your favorite Mexican recipes! Today, we look at the best Cinco de Mayo recipes that leave your table a little brighter, a little more colorful, and stacked with shareable dishes. Celebrate Mexican-inspired cuisine—from tacos, tortas, and tostadas to fresh guacamole, salsas, and an assortment of sides like pico de gallo, hot sauces, and maybe a few lime wedges as well.

One thing you can’t skimp on with your Cinco de Mayo spread is fresh veggies—crisp greens, radishes, carrots, peppers, and plenty of color to go alongside everything on your full table. Taylor Farms chopped Salad Kits, prepped veggies, and ready-to-use blends take care of the prep, so you can spend less time at the cutting board and more time getting everything else ready.

Below, you’ll find a curated collection of easy Cinco de Mayo recipes that showcase our takes on Mexican-inspired fare and feature an assortment of Taylor Farms favorites.
