Even if you don’t have a mariachi band on speed dial, you can still plan Mexican inspired specials. Don’t typically serve Mexican fare? Don’t worry, there are still plenty of ways to cash in on the festivities!

Authentic or Globally Inspired: You can keep it classic with Mexican-inspired fillings or change it up with your own ethnic flair. You can keep it simple with ingredients like jalapeno, chipotle or other chiles, cilantro or avocado. If you want to take it up a notch, try using tomatillos, jicama, or nopales.

Informal or Chic: Most people think of tacos as a casual meal, but they don’t have to be! They can also be posh, like these Lobster Tacos with Cotija Lime Mayo
