My Special Cinco de Mayo Party Recipes

Sharing is caring!

Is Cinco de Mayo really a holiday?  Well, any excuse to have great food is a holiday to me.  My Special Cinco de Mayo Party Recipes can make a party on May 5th, or any day of the year.  Many of these will become family favorites for a get-together or just a night at home.

My Special Cinco de Mayo Party Recipes

I have included 2 Chicken Fajita recipes, one prepared in a Lodge Cast Iron Skillet and the other in a Sheet Pan. Both are great with a couple of seasoning options. I will admit it’s hard to choose a favorite. The Cast Iron version will remind you of a restaurant style more, especially if you served them in a sizzling skillet.

It would be easy to change either of these up by doing just vegetables, or add steak or shrimp.

Another recipe to make in a cast iron skillet is The Ultimate Skillet achos. Add any of your favorite toppings to these just as you would either Fajita recipe.

These can be a meal in itself, or maybe a party food.

Now to have a drink. This Creamy Margarita is an easy change from the traditional Margarita you might enjoy.

Are you celebrating Cinco de Mayo? It seems we all need an excuse to have a celebration so plan on this for a fun time.

Do you have a favorite TexMex or Mexican food or recipe? Let me know and I would love to share others.

When traveling, especially to one of our favorite states of Texas, we always look for local, authentic Mexican or TexMex food.  Do you have a restaurant suggestion?  We are heading to Texas in May.
