Cinco De Mayo Recipe Roundup

1. Southwest BurgerFit Burger

There is a reason so many restaurants create a vegetarian burger from black beans: They make delicious burgers! We love eating this 4 WW Points Southwest Burger as a deconstructed version for taco night, perfect for a healthy Cinco De Mayo celebration! Get the recipe here.

2. Four Pepper BurgerFit Burger

You can’t have a meal to celebrate Cinco De Mayo without peppers! When Alane created this recipe, she had a pepper overload in her garden and needed a creative way to help her family eat some of them. In the original recipe, she used fresh serrano peppers instead of cayenne because that is what she had on hand from the garden. Either works great for this recipe! Get the recipe here.

3. Sweet Potato Side Dish with Cilantro & Sunflower Dressing

You might be thinking “sweet potatoes aren’t Mexican food!” Trust us, once you have this Sweet Potato Side Dish with Cilantro and Sunflower dressing, you will change your mind! If you’re looking for a non-traditional Cinco De Mayo side dish for the whole family, this one will not disappoint! Find the recipe here.

4. Paleo Basil Margarita

We love margaritas but ones you order at bars and restaurants are too sweet for me and are often loaded with sugary mixes and not whole ingredients so we like making them myself. If you are celebrating Cinco De Mayo at home this year, this Paleo Basil Margarita is a twist on your traditional margarita, using fresh basil and grapes. This is a healthier option the adults in the family will really enjoy! Get the recipe here.

Pro-tip: Use our Original Smoked Salts to salt the rim!

5. Cassava Flour Tortillas

These tortillas are a perfect alternative if you are looking for a substitute for a traditional tortilla. They are gluten-free and dairy-free! You can easily turn BurgerFit burgers into tacos by breaking up the burger and putting it in a tortilla! These cassava flour tortillas pair perfectly with Alane’s southwest and four pepper BurgerFit burger and would make the perfect family meal for Cinco De Mayo! My family can’t even tell the difference from traditional tortillas! Get the recipe here.

6. Gluten-Free Southwest Rice Bowl

This gluten-free Southwest Rice Bowl recipe is one of my go-to’s for busy nights, and it’s perfect if you are throwing something together last minute to celebrate Cinco De Mayo with your family! Alane always keeps cauliflower rice and BurgerFit burgers in her freezer and canned black beans in her pantry. That way, she can quickly throw a healthy dinner together in minutes! Alane will also add greens, cooked veggies, and fresh cilantro if she has any. This is one of Fletcher’s favorite meals – he has no idea that he is actually eating cauliflower instead of rice and veggies in his burgers! Get the recipe here.

7. BurgerFit Quesadilla

We truly believe that everything tastes better in a tortilla! We love that there are so many options for creating gluten-free and corn-free tortillas these days. This easy BurgerFit quesadilla recipe is also great if you are planning last-minute Cinco De Mayo celebrations with your family, and you need to put dinner together quickly. Get the recipe here!

8. Gluten-Free BurgerFit Mexican Casserole

We love easy, healthy meals and Mexican food. This Gluten-Free BurgerFit Mexican Casserole recipe is just that! It’s the perfect family-style dinner and it’s a go-to for Cinco De Mayo! I truly believe everything tastes better with a Mexican seasoning blend, so make sure this dish is on your Cinco De Mayo menu this year. To make this recipe paleo, Whole30, and keto, omit the black beans and cheese. Get the recipe here!
