Recipe Roundup: Cinco de Mayo

Categories: Recipe Roundup, Summer

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday commemorating the Battle of Puebla in 1862, where an outnumbered Mexican army thwarted the advancing French from occupying the town of Puebla de Los Angeles. This day has become a symbol of pride for the Mexican people and showcases the core values of their proud nation. It is a day to celebrate Mexican strength, heart, resilience, and a rich culture that continues to flourish. One of the pillars of this cultural identity is of course, food.

In respect for this day, our very own chef – a native of Mexico – Maria Garza says:

“For those of us outside of Mexico, the Battle of Puebla reminds us of how proud we are to be Mexican, of our heritage and our identity. Celebrating with our food and family brings us closer to home.”

Below, are some delicious, authentic recipes that will help to get the most value out of the ingredients you buy. Let us take you on an inspiring journey of food where you can get a taste of the true Mexico. Viva Mexico!
