There may be dozens of failed tofu egg scramblers, a burn roux with vegan butter and several patties of seitan that look as if the devil had a hand in messing them up.

How do you plan to celebrate Cinco de Mayo this weekend?

The company has unveiled “Feed Your Fiesta: 5 Tacos. 5 Margaritas. 5 de Mayo,” five tacos paired with five margaritas based on today’s trends in food. As it has in the past, Betty Crocker recognizes vegetarianism as being one of those hottest trends and has included a vegan taco that also happens to be gluten-free, paired with Frozen Mango COCOritas.

Last month, Betty Crocker Facebook fans picked alternative diets that included vegan and gluten-free cooking as a top holiday trend.

Kristen Olson, Food Editor of the Betty Crocker Test Kitchen, is riding the wave Betty Crocker fans are on and has provided a recipe for vegan sugar cookies.
