    Vegan Cinco de Mayo Recipes

    Published: Apr 26, 2012 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Cinco de Mayo has become a day to celebrate Mexican heritage and pride (contrary to popular belief, it isn’t Mexico’s independence day) —and a delicious way to celebrate is with easy vegan south-of-border and Southwestern-style dishes. VegKitchen has plenty of festive appetizers and main dishes to choose from! Shown above, Fully Loaded Vegan Nachos.
