17 of our favorite vegetarian Mexican recipes to bring to your Cinco de Mayo dinner party, including everything from plant-based tacos to protein-packed bean dip.

17 of the best vegetarian Mexican recipes to serve at your Cinco de Mayo dinner party, including vegan tacos, protein-packed bean dip, and healthy guacamole!

17 of our favorite vegetarian Mexican recipes to bring to your Cinco de Mayo dinner party, including everything from plant-based tacos to protein-packed bean dip.

In honor or Cinco de Mayo coming up, today we’re going through some of my favorite vegetarian Mexican recipes! Because surprisingly, Mexican cuisine can be made sin carne pretty easily (you won’t even miss the meat).

These plant-based takes on Mexican recipes are all inspired by my experiences living and eating in San Antonio (as in, they’re probably closer to Tex Mex than to traditional Mexican cuisine), but they’re all great for serving on your Cinco de Mayo menu. Enjoy!

(P.S. We even have a free weeklong meal plan that’s all Mexican inspired! Find the Mexican meal plan here.)
