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.
