As you prepare for Cinco de Mayo festivities, consider adding the authentic flavors of Camellia Brand Beans to your dishes!
Cinco de Mayo Favorites with Camellia Brand Beans
Whether you’re craving authentic Mexican recipes, breakfast tacos, salads, dips, or casseroles, incorporating Camellia Brand Pinto Beans, Black Beans, and Great Northern Beans will add a special touch to your Cinco de Mayo celebration.
Frijoles Charros
Great Northern beans are slow-cooked with onion, garlic, pickled jalapeños, hot dogs, chorizo, and bacon for great meaty flavor. This dish is often enjoyed alongside carne asada (grilled and sliced beef).
Bean & Bacon Breakfast Tacos
Scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, tender pinto beans, shredded cheese, and chopped avocado fill your choice of grilled flour or corn tortillas, and make a hearty breakfast, brunch, or dinner that’ll leave everyone begging for more.
Fresh Two-Bean Salsa
With both black and pinto beans, corn, vegetables, cilantro, and lime juice, this salsa can be thrown together easily. For best results, make it at least 12 hours before serving, allowing the flavors to meld in the fridge. Then serve with tortilla chips, as a taco filling, or as a cold or room temperature topping for grilled fish or chicken.
Smoked Chicken & Black Bean Enchilada Casserole
This is the perfect make-ahead party dish. Faster and easier than rolling and stuffing individual enchiladas, it’s made by creating layers of a chicken and bean mixture, a sour cream and enchilada sauce mixture, corn tortillas, and cheese. Whether you’ve got a big family to feed or you’re gearing up for a gathering with friends, this one’s a real crowd-pleaser.
Since 1923, L.H. Hayward and Company, maker of Camellia Brand Beans, has been bringing people together to create memories and enjoy family meals. Just like a pot of red beans that is slowly simmered and lovingly tended to, this fourth-generation family-owned company continues to put its heart and soul into offering the highest-quality, most flavorful products around. Customers have always been the most important ingredient in Camellia’s recipe for success—a recipe passed down in the family for more than 100 years and counting.
