May 5: Enjoy Enchiladas with your Family Dinner Recipes this Cinco De Mayo
Honor Mexico's contribution to American history with enchilada family dinner recipes this Cinco de Mayo! While Fifth of May is erroneously believed to be Mexico's Independence Day, it is actually observed as an expression of American gratitude to Mexico. During the Civil War, Mexico assisted Union forces by repelling French reinforcements supporting the Confederacy. Cinco de Mayo commemorates that assistance.
While more significant to Americans than Mexicans, Cinco de Mayo offers a good opportunity to enjoy the rich food traditions of Mexico. Enchiladas made their start with the pre-Columbian Mayans. While ancient enchiladas contained primarily fish, the modern recipes evolved to contain beef, chicken, cheese, beans, and various sauces. Varieties feature traditional Mexican, Tex-Mex, and even fusion cuisine. Enchiladas can be as simple or complex as preferred making them one of the most flexible, and tasty, food options for Cinco de Mayo dinner plans.
