Whether you're planning a full-on fiesta or just want to bring something fun to a work potluck, these Cinco de Mayo recipes from the Legg Day Fitness cookbook have you covered.
From fresh takes on classic favorites to high-protein twists you can actually feel good about eating, there's something here for every table. Pick a few, mix and match, and make it a celebration to remember — no food guilt required.
Healthier Enchiladas
These lighter enchiladas skip the heavy cream and cheese overload but keep all the flavor. Packed with lean protein, fiber-rich veggies, and a simple sauce, they’re a healthier take on a comfort food classic — perfect for feeding a crowd or meal prepping for the week.
Cowboy Caviar
This cowboy caviar is a colorful mix of black beans, corn, tomatoes, peppers, and avocado tossed in a tangy lime vinaigrette. It’s fresh, high in fiber, and perfect as a dip, salad, or side dish — and it holds up great for Cinco de Mayo parties or meal prep.
Sweet Potato Nachos
Sweet potato nachos swap the chips for roasted sweet potato rounds, layered with seasoned ground turkey, black beans, and a sprinkle of cheese. They’re hearty, nutrient-dense, and hit that salty-sweet-crunchy combo without the crash. Great for game day, dinner, or a healthier snack board.
Sweet Potato Breakfast Nachos
Breakfast sweet potato nachos use the same roasted sweet potato base, but this time they’re topped with scrambled eggs, avocado, and a little salsa or cheese. It’s like a breakfast taco had a glow-up — satisfying, packed with protein and fiber, and easy to throw together for a brunch spread or meal prep win.
Cottage Cheese Queso Dip
This cottage cheese queso is the creamy, melty dip you didn’t know you needed. It’s high in protein, surprisingly smooth, and perfect for scooping, drizzling, or leveling up your snack game — without feeling like a splurge.
Low-Carb Tacos
These low-carb tacos keep things simple and satisfying — seasoned ground turkey tucked into crisp romaine leaves, topped with creamy avocado. They’ve got all the taco flavor, none of the heavy carbs, and make a quick, fresh option for lunch, dinner, or a post-workout bite.
Black Bean and Slaw Tacos
These black bean and slaw tacos are the unexpected combo that just works — smoky beans, crunchy slaw, and a tangy kick all wrapped in a tortilla (or lettuce wrap if you're keeping it light). They're quick, plant-based, and way more flavorful than they have any right to be.
