    Mexican Thanksgiving Menu

    Published: Nov 14, 2015 · Modified: Sep 12, 2020 by Whitney Reist · This post may contain affiliate links |

    It's time for my final Thanksgiving Menu roundup - making these has made me SO hungry. Today's menu aims straight for my heart, as it speaks to a very special place that I used to call home - TEXAS!

    If you are up for a little fun experimentation and love Mexican food, this Thanksgiving menu is for you! The dishes are so good they may just become seasonal family favorites!

    Call me a homesick Texan. I'm strongly considering making this meal for Thanksgiving - it would be such a balm to Tex-Mex food missing soul. Ryan and I will be lucky enough to visit Texas over the Christmas holiday to see his family; and as you may guess, I'm already making my list of places I want to eat! Mole at Mesa is a MUST. Best. Ever.  AND I can't forget about the Cuban Pig taco from Velvet Taco - this is the taco of my dreams, ya'll. JUST GIVE ME ALLLLLL THE TEX MEX!!! And in the meantime, consider having a Mexican-themed Thanksgiving meal. I'm getting you started with this menu! See my Thanksgiving for Two and Simple Thanksgiving Menu for other options 🙂

    If you are up for a little fun experimentation and love Mexican food, this Thanksgiving menu is for you! The dishes are so good they may just become seasonal family favorites!

    Menu:

    • Cranberry Margaritas from Gimme Some Oven - the classic Tex-Mex cocktail with a holiday twist!
    • Turkey in Mole Poblano from Saveur - this one takes a bit of planning and time to prepare - but your house will smell AMAZING while it cooks. It'll be so worth it!
    • Kale and Delicata Salad from Oh My Veggies! - because who said Mexican couldn't be healthy?!?
    • Homemade Tortillas from The Kitchn - good news friends: you don't need a tortilla press for these!
    • Mexican Street Corn Casserole from Lauren's Latest - all I can say is YUM.
    • Pumpkin Chocoflan from Apron Clad - everything you need in a Mexican Thanksgiving dessert.
