Cinco de Mayo is the perfect excuse to whip up some vibrant and flavorful Mexican-inspired dishes.

May 5th, marks the underdog victory of Mexican troops over French forces at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While not a major holiday in Mexico, it's become a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage in the U.S.

Smart Prep for a Fiesta to Remember

Prep your meats the day before – shred or chop chicken, pork, or beef, and store them in the fridge for easy reheating. Let your slow cooker do the work with barbacoa, carnitas, or other favorites – just assemble the night before and set it to cook.

Even enchiladas can be prepped ahead: assemble them a day in advance, cover them with sauce and cheese, then pop them in the oven right before your fiesta!

Fruit-based drinks like my Pineapple Juice Drinks Non Alcoholic or my Coconut Water Drink Recipes are even tastier when their flavors have time to meld, so whip up a big batch in advance.

If you're serving cocktails, prep your margaritas by squeezing limes and making simple syrups the day before.
