Instant Pot Cinco de Mayo Recipes

Just in case you are wondering, Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration held on May 5. It is the celebration of the Mexican victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862.

We celebrate this day in America, not only because we have a large Mexican-American population, but because we also love a good party!
