Celebrate with Cinco de Mayo Recipes

In our home, Cinco de Mayo is often a celebration of Mexican culture and the wonderful influences that are a part of our daily lives. We often celebrate with Cinco de Mayo Recipes.

Cinco de Mayo is, officially, a holiday celebrating Mexico’s victory over France in the 1862 Battle of Puebla. In the U.S., where it is actually celebrated with more gusto than in its native country, the holiday has become a celebration of Mexican heritage and culture.

The holiday also provides a great excuse to make irresistible Mexican-inspired recipes for entertaining and, of course, a big batch of margaritas. Salt anyone?

And don’t forget fresh sweet corn is an essential component of many Mexican dishes and a cultural staple.

Luckily, Cinco de Mayo falls right in the middle of Florida’s Sunshine Sweet Corn season, meaning that the sweetest corn, available all year, arrives just in time to be a part of your Cinco de Mayo celebration. (Bet you didn’t know that!)
