Mexican Thanksgiving Recipes

Got leftover turkey? Swap it into any recipe that calls for chicken โ€” like Chicken Mole or Chicken Enchiladas โ€” for a delicious twist on your Thanksgiving leftovers. And if youโ€™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 momโ€™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 โ€” colorful, flavorful, and made with love.
