You can’t go wrong with an assortment of appetizers and snacks to delight your guests, especially if you’re planning to use Cinco de Mayo as an occasion to share a variety of festive foods. We’ve compiled a list of our favorites for this celebration. Since Cinco de Mayo, as it’s celebrated in the U.S., is more of a creative interpretation (it’s not extensively celebrated in Mexico), we’ve also included some Americanized options. How about a seven-layer bean dip?
If you’re interested in using Cinco de Mayo as an opportunity to explore the diverse and regional cuisines of Mexico, you’ll find those recipes here as well. As you prepare them, take the time to savor the rich flavors and traditions that have become integral to our culture, thanks to our southern neighbors.
