The taco trend shows no sign of letting up. And why should it? They’re delicious! But let’s not

forget all the other unique and mouth-watering Mexican foods we’re so fortunate to have.

Regardless of what the calendar says, we’re giving you another opportunity to celebrate

Cinco de Mayo this week by enjoying something delicious that belongs to Mexican cuisine. From

tostadas and tamales to mole and margaritas, we want you to see you take Mexican food to the max.

And yes, we’ll count Tex-Mex dishes, too — Gastropost is anything but anti-fajita.

YOUR NEXT MISSION: MEX TO

THE MAX

Gastroposters Chelsea Kelso and Finn Haddock took Mex to the max with these homemade baked

chicken flautas with roasted red pepper goat cheese dipping sauce. “Just like your favourite

snacks from the frozen foods aisle at the grocery store,” they claim. “But way better!”
