3 Delicious Cinco de Mayo Recipes to Try This Year

2. Divorced Enchiladas

For divorced enchiladas, shred chicken and combine it with salsa ranchera and salsa verde separately, to create two distinct flavors. Mix black beans with tomato, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, olive oil, and salt. After heating and lightly browning the tortillas, fill each one with the chicken mixture, roll up, and place seam-side down on a platter. 

Top half of the enchiladas with salsa ranchera and the other half with salsa verde. Garnish with your black bean mixture, romaine lettuce, crumbled queso fresco, and a drizzle of crema. Enjoy a vibrant and delicious dish.

3. Kristy’s Chile Relleno Burritos

To prepare Kristy’s chile relleno burritos, roast or char the chiles until they are blistered and cooked. Let them sweat in a sealed plastic bag for at least 10 minutes, then remove the charred skin and seeds. Stuff each chile with refried beans and cheese. If needed, seal with toothpicks then coat in flour. Next, dip the stuffed chiles in an egg batter and fry them in hot oil until golden brown on both sides. 

Meanwhile, mix cabbage with lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a zesty slaw. Heat flour tortillas on a comal (flat griddle), then fill each with a chile relleno and salsa and roll into a burrito. Top with more salsa, the cabbage slaw, Mexican crema, and crumbled queso cotija for a delicious and satisfying dish.
