Cinco De Mayo Recipes are one of my favorites! It is one of my favorite food occasions of the year. I don’t know about your family, but mine is so excited about that day!!! Instead of going out to restaurants, we tend to do a lot of taco nights at our house, which is a great easy dinner, and also, it’s a frugal meal.

I prefer to cook meals at home than go out to eat. Plus, teaching the kids how to create food from other cuisines is a great way to get them started in the kitchen. Thankfully with Pinterest, there is never a shortage of ideas, so I gathered a collection of unique recipes to try out and expand from my own.
