Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that we celebrate every year on the 5th of May, remembering the victory of the Mexican army over the French at the Battle of Puebla. While it might be considered a “party holiday” in the US, my family takes it seriously as a day to honor of the culture and background of all of our Mexican friends. For most of us, that means music, festivities and lots of wonderful food and drinks! If you’re planning your own fun get-together for Cinco de Mayo, be sure and check out these 22 best Mexican ground beef recipes.
