As San Antonio is wrapping up Fiesta, it is time to prepare for Cinco de Mayo. Living in Texas and having lived in San Antonio for over 3 years we love to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and having just wrapped up Fiesta I cannot wait to celebrate with my family at home away from the crowds. My family loves to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with Delimex and the perfect dips while we stay home, hang out and relax.
To prepare for our Cinco de Mayo festivities I first had to stop at Walmart to purchase the ingredients for my dips and I wanted to grab some Delimex products for dipping. I chose the Delimex Beef & Cheddar Rolled Tacos and the Delimex Beef Taquitos. There are so many different options which is great because I have a really big family with a lot of different flavor preferences. After I grabbed the tacos and taquitos I headed over to the vegetable aisle and grabbed my ingredients for my dips.
When we got home with our Cinco de Mayo supplies, my daughter and I proceeded to the kitchen, turned up Selena and started to create our perfect dips. The first dip we prepared was our famous Chili Con Queso. This is the easiest dip to make and it is the perfect topping for Delimex Tacos and Taquitos.
Chili Con Queso is a simple recipe that can be made in 5 minutes and only uses 3 ingredients. You will use 1lb of processed cheese, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 16 oz can of chili.
Once your Chili con Queso is finished, serve immediately. This is the perfect dip to top onto your Delimex Beef & Cheddar Rolled Tacos and Beef Taquitos and it is also great to use as a dipper.
After the Chili con Queso was prepared, we turned up Selena even louder and started to prepare our Guacamole. Once again this is another simple recipe that has just a few simple ingredients. You will use 3 avocados, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 1 tomato, 1/2 an onion and 1/2 cup of diced cilantro.
Once your Guacamole is complete, you will need to serve it immediately. If you wait to serve the guacamole then you will want to squeeze more lime onto the top of it to prevent it from turning brown, cover and place it into the refrigerator. I know there are a lot of hacks that will prevent the guacamole from turning brown but honestly my family eats it so fast that it does not have a chance to turn brown.
We saved the best dip for last! This dip is my husband’s famous Roasted Hot Sauce that is also a simple recipe but it’s a recipe that has a few more steps to it. For the Roasted Hot Sauce you will need 5 -6 big tomatoes, 1 onion, 2 jalepenos, 1/2 cup cilantro and 1 can of tomato sauce.
Cut the tomatoes and onions in half, place them on a large piece of foil and then place onto your grill. You will want to add the jalepenos to the grill but do not cut those in half. We roasted our vegetables for around 2 hours. You will want to watch for your vegetables to get wrinkled and that is when you know they are ready to be blended.
When the vegetables are finished roasting you will add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend. Make sure you cut the stems off of the jalepenos. If you like your hot sauce chunkier, feel free to add less tomato sauce or more vegetables.
After our dips were complete, we immediately started to bake our Delimex Beef & Cheddar Rolled Tacos and the Delimex Beef Taquitos. Thankfully it only takes around 14 minutes to bake the Delimex Tacos and Taquitos because after all of the cooking we did, we were hungry!
As soon as the timer went off, we grabbed our dips, grabbed the Delimex Beef & Cheddar Rolled Tacos and the Delimex Beef Taquitos and headed outside for a fun and delicious Cinco de Mayo celebration. The dips were amazing and the Delimex Tacos and the Delimex Taquitos were even more amazing plain or topped with our dips.

Mmmmm, that roasted hot sauce sounds amazing! But I am a guac girl. Nothing better than a good guacamole. 🙂
I love recipes with roasted vegetables. I’ve never thought to roast them for salsa though! Next time we have Delimex taquitos, I know what I am making to go with them! #client
My husband is born on Cinco de Mayo. Those dishes look absolutely delicious and mouthwatering
Delimex Beef Taquitos are so delicious. My family loves them. I will have to try these dips the next time i make some.
Cinco de mayo is big here in Texas, as you can imagine. I love that this would be so easy to put together.
I love how colorful everything is! We’re actually in Mexico now – the perfect place to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!
You are talking my language, I love DIPS! I haven’t yet met a dipping sauce I didn’t like and GUAC is my FAVE!!! 🙂
I loved Cinco de Mayo when I was growing up. I haven’t had a proper Cinco de Mayo meal in many years. Yummy.

I’m hungry and drooling as I write. These are easy and look good! I never put tomatoes in my Guacamole, but maybe I should try it.
The cheesey dip looks so good! I can eat a whole pot by myself. lol
This is really making me crave a full Mexican food dinner. I definitely have to do some sort of Cinco de Mayo meal.
What great looking tips! You can’t beat salsa, cheese dip and guacamole for Cinco de Mayo (or any time of year)!
Those are some good looking dips! I would give any of them a try. They look super easy to make too.
Delimix – I just bought a huge box at costco for this very reason. I can’t wait to share with my boys tomorrow
Cinco de Mayo is my youngest daughter’s birthday so we will be celebrating both. Your food looks so good!!!!!
Those dips look absolutely amazing and the pictures are fantastic. I so want dip now. LOL
Queso, salsa and guacamole are basically three of my favorite things. I’ve never attempted to make guac myself. And queso isn’t something I normally think to make at home. The hot sauce sounds amazing. I’ll have to give it a try this week!
This looks like quite a spread!! Love the idea of the roasted tomatoes and onions to make your own salsa – yum!
Oh these dips all look delicious. And I LOVE guacamole!!!
Wow, everything looks so festive and fun! You captured some great shots and the food, wow-it looks too good!
MMM, a dip party is my kind of par-tay! These all look so delish!
WOW! Now this is HOT! I’m not really a fan of guacamole. Never really liked that however I LOVE mexican foods. My kids go crazy over homemade tacos too LOL. Burritos are my favorites!!
I can not believe I completely forgot about Cinco De Mayo. My boys love Taquitos so I will have to grab some for dinner tomorrow. They would love all of the things you are serving.
Mmm hmm hmm I do love me a good dip!! These all look great. I love all the fresh ingredients!
I am drooling! I’m ready for cinco de mayo!!! I love Mexican and I’ll take any excuse I can to get a margarita.
I’m so ready for Cinco de Mayo because Mexican is my favorite food! Delimex has some great products and will be starring in a couple of my Mexican recipes.
All of these dips look fabulous to me. I am going to try them all this summer. I have some parties coming up and they will work great.
Yum! I love all of this. If my husband was off I would be celebrating cinco with just us and doing all kinds of foods like this! These dips look amazing!
My husband just started making his own guacamole and it is delish! Gonna give him your recipe for the other two dips and see what he can create 😉
Looks like a fantastic party layout. Yum dips.
LOVE these ideas for Cinco De Mayo! The queso dip would be a HUGE hit with my kiddos and I know my hubs and son would like the roasted hot sauce, they’re the spice lovers over here!
Dang! I wish I was coming to your house! Cinco De Mayo looks like its going to be a hit!
Oh goodness, yumm!! My husband is a taquito monster and I love dips! I think I want to try your husband’s dip!
My husband and I love to dip while we’re catching up on the DVR. These sound awesome.
These would be great dips for football Sunday too and that is just around the corner. 😉
Thanks for the ideas – I was making my shopping list for this week and I definitely want a Mexican meal for Tuesday.
Love your dipping sauces! Isn’t it amazing how just a few ingredients can make something so delicious!?
