Cinco de Mayo – a celebration of international flavor

Cinco de Mayo is one of the best days of the year to be in the food biz. Spring has finally overtaken the long, cold winter and people are ready for a good outing. Those that were suddenly Irish on St. Patrick’s Day are now Latino and seeking international flavors.

In order to cash in on the craze, be sure to offer authentic Mexican cuisine. CAFÉ H® Carnitas, Beef Barbacoa and Jalapeño Bacon are sure to satisfy.

For the early crowd, try making a jalapeño bacon breakfast burritos or Migas (Texas style eggs). Later offer jalapeño bacon salads, sandwiches and even soups. CAFÉ H® Jalapeño Bacon features traditional Mexican spices like chipotle, jalapeños, peppers and herbs, making it ideal for turning ordinary menu items into Cinco de Mayo delights.

CAFÉ H® Carnitas is superb in fajitas, quesadillas, enchiladas, and burritos, just to name a few.  The carnitas is marinated in a traditional garlic citrus mix, then slow-cooked for hours.  It’s easy to portion and is one of the most versatile pork items available. 

Those that prefer beef over pork will find that CAFÉ H® Beef Barbacoa works great in all of your traditional Mexican applications. Our barbacoa is marinated with chilies, garlic and onions, then slow-cooked for hours.

Also try CAFÉ H® Pork Barbacoa, Pork Ossobuco, Chicken Tinga and Chorizo.

With the help of CAFÉ H® authentic proteins, this Cinco de Mayo will be a celebration over everyday cuisine.
