It’s almost Cinco de Mayo so I thought I’d create this roundup post with all of the best vegan Mexican recipes for you to try.
Cinco de Mayo, or the 5th of May, is a celebration to commemorate Mexico’s victory in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Although apparently, the holiday is more celebrated in the USA than in Mexico!
I’ve seen many of my US friends celebrate it over the years and the food they make always looks amazing, which gave me the idea for this post.
Using the help of some other food bloggers, I’m bringing you this list of 30 delicious recipes. Below you’ll find vegan Cinco de Mayo desserts, snacks, drinks and more. If you use any of the recipes, please let us know how it goes by leaving a comment. Enjoy!
