I can’t believe how fast this year is going by. Did I mention it’s May, y’all!? You know what that means…Cinco de Mayo is here and there will be other holidays/celebrations to follow. I know restaurants are opening up to full capacity in some places, but many just want to stay home and enjoy a delicious meal. Without the crowds. If you don’t feel like dining out or ordering takeout, here are a few of my favorite recipes to celebrate this wonderful occasion!

Zucchini Soft Taco Tortillas
Low carb, friends…I didn’t forget about you. Zucchini Soft Taco Tortillas are an exciting twist to traditional tortillas. They are low carb, gluten-free, and the secret ingredients—cheese and zucchini. Yes, please!
Copycat Mexican Pizza – Inspired by Taco Bell
In case you’ve been under a cute, little rock, Taco Bell decided to swipe everyone’s favorite off the menu. The Mexican Pizza. Before I found out about this absurdity, I decided I wanted to recreate it at home during the panini, and I’ve made it several times since. There’s a catch! Do you see this cheesy goodness here? *wait for it* It’s made with “beef” made from PLANTS! There’s more. We love options over here! This Copycat Mexican Pizza can also be made vegetarian/vegan-friendly. So yes, you can still enjoy Mexican Pizza with non-dairy cheese. It’s homemade and the perfect way to enjoy layers of cheesy goodness of a fast-food favorite.
COCKTAILS AND MOCKTAILS
