Did you know my parents lived in Guadalajara, Mexico, for two years? It was right after I graduated from college, and pretty much the best thing ever. Live at home without rules? Visit Mexico whenever I want? Sign me up, mamacita.
One of my most memorable visits to Mexico happened over Thanksgiving. My parents invited their new Mexican friends over for a full-on turkey affair.
After my mom slaved away for hours making a full-on feast from scratch, their guests did the most unexpected thing right at the dinner table: They scooped and ate the stuffing, mashed potatoes, and all the fixings with tortilla chips! At first, we didn’t know what to do. Do we tell them they are doing it wrong? That chips will unbalance the marshmallows in the sweet potatoes? Or that we went to seven grocery stores to find mayonnaise not flavored with lime for the green bean casserole?
The next thing I knew, we were all scooping the stuffing with our tortilla chips. Sometimes life is all about mixing it up and adding new traditions to old ones!
If you really think about it, there is nothing quite like Thanksgiving cuisine.
In addition to the chips, one lovely guest brought over fresh fruit with cream. It made for the perfect light dessert after such a heavy meal. Leave that pumpkin pie to rest, please.
I am spending this Thanksgiving with my husband’s family, and I plan on bringing a bit of Mexico to the table with this Berries and Tequila Cream recipe. I will be using Hornitos® Black Barrel to keep it savory and rich. It’s absolutely delicious and so unexpected. Not only will you not be slaving away all day making it, but you can also guarantee it will be unique. Serve it with Hornitos® Black Barrel on the rocks—it makes for an extra-fun evening. Promise.
Have you ever started a new tradition? You should mix it up and start one this year!
