Get Your Chili on for Cinco de Mayo

With Cinco de Mayo around the corner, it’s time to get your chili on. After all, as this Mexican holiday moved north of the border, it became a celebration of Mexican cuisine. And, although you can get fresh Mexican food without any heat, why would you want to?
There are over 200 varieties of chilies grown in Mexico from jalapeños to anchos and beyond. Each region makes the most of the best chilies grown in the area – and while we change it up with chilies grown around the world, we make the best of their meals too.
This Cinco de Mayo, get your chili on with any of these recipes:
- Reaper Chicken Enchiladas
- Mad Dog Barbacoa Beef Burritos
- Pure Ghost Shrimp Tacos
- Reaper Loaded Nachos
- Revenge Refried Beans
- Mad Morich Chicken Tacos
- Mad Dog’s Muchos Layer Nachos
And, if you need a simple roast chili salsa, give this one a try:
Dry fry 4 whole tomatoes in a large frying pan, turning as needed, until they become blackened and blistered. Remove tomatoes to a blender, and add 2 cloves of unpeeled garlic and a chili of your choosing. Continue dry frying until blackened. Peel the garlic and remove the chili stem and toss in the blender. Add a tablespoon or two of cilantro, a small onion, a sprinkle of salt and the juice from a lime. Blitz until you get the desired consistency and eat with any of your favorite Mexican meals this Cinco de Mayo.
