There are tons of ways to low key celebrate a holiday without having to go overboard, and one of the best ways is with food. With the help of a simple recipe, you can show appreciation to the holiday and feed your family a good meal at the same time. A lot of American-centric celebrations of Cinco de Mayo involve trips to the bar and a lot of alcohol, two things that definitely aren’t family friendly. Most of these recipes are delicious, authentic, and can be shared with the entire family.

1. Mexican Street Corn (Elotes)

Made in the oven, these authentic Elotes are covered in savory toppings and taste almost too good to be true. About 35 minutes in the oven and you can create a delicious side dish or snack that pleases everyone in the family.

Soft, doughy, and draped in cinnamon sugar, churros are heaven sent. The technique for making these churros relies on a piping bag and hot oil and comes with a recipe for an amazing espresso chocolate dipping sauce.

6. Mexican Fried Ice Cream

This Mexican fried ice cream has all the greatness of the traditional dessert with a few little changes. Instead of actually being fried, super frozen scoops of ice cream are covered in crushed, toasted corn flakes then placed back in the freezer until they are molded together. The recipe is fun, delicious, and easy enough that the kids can help.
