Mexican Thanksgiving Recipes

Got leftover turkey? Swap it into any recipe that calls for chicken — like Chicken Mole or Chicken Enchiladas — for a delicious twist on your Thanksgiving leftovers. And if you’re looking to add bold flavor and tradition to your holiday table, these Mexican Thanksgiving Recipes are the perfect way to do it!

Favorites include Pumpkin Spice Tamales, my mom’s famous Mexican-Style Thanksgiving Stuffing, Empanadas de Camote (Sweet Potato Empanadas), Rajas con Crema (Roasted Poblanos in Cream), and Calabacitas con Elote (Mexican Zucchini & Corn). Each dish brings comforting Mexican flavors to your Thanksgiving feast — colorful, flavorful, and made with love.
