    Finally Cinco de Mayo is here!!
     
    I put together a list of recipes that are perfect for tonight -- fun, delicious, and with minimal effort involved.  Sound good?
     
    Your job is to pick your favorite dish from the list and make it!  I hope these recipes make your Cinco de Mayo a keeper 🙂

    Roasted Tomato and Tomatillo Salsa

    At the very least, you've got to celebrate with some homemade Salsa!  I am constantly recommending this Salsa to peeps and for good reason -- it's far superior to store-bought Salsa and can be used in so many delicious ways.   
     
    This is a delicious Salsa to add to your repertoire! It uses both tomatoes and tomatillos to create a completely unique flavor. Yum!! mexicanplease.com
     
     

    Creamy Poblano Enchiladas

    These Creamy Poblano Enchiladas would be a perfect recipe for Cinco de Mayo.  The sauce is loaded with that sweet roasted Poblano flavor and it's a zillion times better than enchilada sauce from a can 🙂
     
    Here's an easy way to make a delicious batch of Creamy Poblano Enchiladas. The sauce is loaded with that sweet roasted Poblano flavor -- so good!
     
     

    Chipotle Cheese Bean Dip

    This is a cheesy, chipotle-infused concoction that seems to quickly become the center of attention.  Have you tried this one yet? 
     
    Serve up this Chipotle and Cheese Bean Dip straight from the oven and you'll make some friends for life! Don't forget to add some salsa or roasted tomatoes, it makes a huge difference. So good! mexicanplease.com
     
     

    Quick Ground Beef Bowl

    These Ground Beef Bowls are wildly versatile and come together quickly -- perfect for tonight!  I topped them some freshly made Salsa de Aguacate and that makes all the other fixings negotiable.

    Spicy Queso Dip

    Who doesn’t love Queso Dip?!  Flavor your Queso with a tomato-chipotle mixture and life is solved.   Plop it on any table and it will instantly draw a crowd, so consider yourself warned!
     
    Such an easy Queso recipe! Tons of flavor from the smoky, fiery chipotles but you can always dial back on them for a milder version. mexicanplease.com
     
     

    Quick Vegetarian Stuffed Poblanos

    I stuffed these roasted Poblanos with a simple beans-and-rice mixture and then loaded them up with Queso Fresco and pickled onions -- yum!  I also topped with some Salsa de Aguacate 🙂

    Arroz con Pollo -- Mexican Chicken and Rice

    This Arroz con Pollo is a great one-pot meal — with minimal effort you get a savory meal that is far superior to your local takeout options.  This is a good one for a Friday night 🙂

    Mexican Beans and Rice Soup

    I think this Beans and Rice Soup is a total keeper, but I might be biased 🙂  I love making soup using this roasted tomato technique -- it creates such a satisfying flavor and gives you plenty of leeway on the other fixings. 
     
    This is a great recipe for a delicious batch of Mexican Beans and Rice Soup. Super easy to make, and tremendously satisfying.
     
     

    Ground Beef Tostadas

    These Ground Beef Tostadas want to be part of your kitchen!  They've provided me with so many quick meals lately -- top them with a homemade Salsa and you'll come back to them as often as I do!
     
     
     

    Quick Bean Dip For Dinner

    Here's an impromptu Bean Dip that could be a good fit for tonight -- it's fast, easy, and wildly satisfying!  I dip crispy, cheesy corn tortillas in it and all is well in the world for a few bites 🙂
