We’re coming up on Cinco de Mayo in a few days, which means it’s time to mix up the margaritas and make ourselves a big Mexican-inspired plant-based feast!

That’s why I’m sharing plant-based alternatives to traditional Cinco de Mayo recipes, as well as a couple of plant-infused margaritas I know you’ll love. 🇲🇽

Try a Mexican-inspired main dish 😌

Add a salad, side, and sauce 🥗

DID YOU KNOW? 🧐

Only 1 in 10 individuals know that Cinco de Mayo represents the Mexican victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla and 40% of Americans believe Cinco de Mayo marks Mexico’s Independence Day. In fact, Cinco de Mayo is not a federally recognized holiday in Mexico even though it is the most recognized Mexican holiday worldwide. And for a fun food twist, 87 million pounds of avocados are purchased for Cinco de Mayo, more than any other time of the year! (source)

I've seen zero evidence of any nation on Earth other than Mexico even remotely having the slightest clue what Mexican food is about or even come close to reproducing it. It is perhaps the most misunderstood country and cuisine on Earth.
