Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner (how is it almost May already?!) and I’ve put together this delicious Mexican vegan and vegetarian recipe roundup.
To help me celebrate I’ve included recipes from 6 uber talented women who share a mutual love for authentic Mexican cuisine. The majority of them are not plant-based, but that doesn’t matter because as you’ll see their blogs all have countless vegan and vegetarian options. They all have so much Mexican food knowledge to share and I know I learn from them everyday.
Enjoy the recipes and have a fantastic Cinco de Mayo fiesta!
