These Mexican recipes in my Cinco de Mayo Recipe Collection are healthy, quick and easy, you’ll be serving them up in no time for your celebration — but I’ll let you in on a little secret, I don’t really need a special day to eat Mexican food! I can eat it just about every day!
Honestly though, I am really putting together this Cinco de Mayo Recipe Collection so I have all of my Mexican recipes all in one place! Be sure to look for the recipes at the end from some of my fellow bloggers!
I’m probably the most boring person when it comes to my favorite Mexican meal; if I’m cooking I don’t mind making a variety of Mexican foods, but if we go to a restaurant, you will hear me order the same thing every time — Cheese Enchiladas, rice and beans.
Yup, super simple, nothing fancy for me and the more cheese the better!! Easy and ready in 30 minutes or less!
Along with my enchiladas and rice, in my ovenproof skillet, I heat some refried beans on the stovetop, top it with shredded cheese and stick it in the oven to melt.
