Fun Cinco de Mayo Facts
- Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration held each year on May 5th.
- The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army’s unlikely victory over the French Empire. This happened at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862. (This is NOT Mexico’s Independence Day)
- Cinco de Mayo is typically a day of eating tacos and drinking margaritas. However, you probably won’t find ground beef tacos, nachos, and frozen margaritas in Mexico on Cinco de Mayo.
I always enjoy eating authentic Mexican food like Chiles en Nogada. I’m also quite fond of the Americanized Mexican food. I do believe I can eat my weight in chips and salsa. With that in mind, let’s take a look at my top 14 Cinco de Mayo Recipes.
