Feliz Cinco de Mayo, everyone! Today, I am sharing some of my favourite Mexican recipes that you can serve at your own fiesta!
Check out these fun (and spicy 🌶) recipes below!
Chorizo Queso Fundido
This cheesy, and spicy dip is the best summer appetizer ever! It is definitely a crowd pleaser for anyone who likes a melty cheese dip, chorizo sausage and fresh peppers.
In this recipe, I use a combination of cream cheese and Monterey Jack cheese to give a creamy texture. This combination of cheeses really helps to hold onto the chorizo crumbles and the peppers, making this dip totally scoopable and delicious. I like to serve this dip with some nacho chips and some cherry tomatoes for freshness.
You can make this outdoors on the BBQ to give the dip a delicious BBQ flavour, or you can use your oven as well if you don’t have a BBQ.

Smokey Chorizo Soup
If it is still a bit chilly out, you celebrate with this Smoky Chorizo Soup! Not only do I use local chorizo sausage, I also use a delicious local Smoked Jalapeño Montery Jack Cheese from Red Barn Markets!
To bring out all the delicious flavours in this soup, I roast up tomatoes, onions and peppers then puree them to make the soup base. This is a great technique to use in the winter months when vegetables are available but aren’t at their best flavour.
If the soup wasn’t good enough on it’s own, I top it off with freshly made tortilla strips, sour cream, cilantro, radish, jalapeño slices and cilantro!

Vegetarian Calabacitas Enchiladas
If you’re looking for a vegetarian recipe to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, look no further than these Vegetarian Calabacitas Enchiladas!
These enchiladas are stuffed with a zucchini, corn and sour cream mixture. It’s so flavourful and creamy…I could almost eat the filling on it’s own!
To add more flavour, I top the enchiladas with a homemade green chile salsa. This salsa is super easy to make is is also great on top of eggs for breakfast!
