Latin Up Your Holiday Dinner with Chipotle Cranberry Sauce Huffington Post
go to original December 18, 2013

In most Latino households during the holidays tamales reign supreme. But the humble turkey has found its way into the homes and bellies of many U.S. Latinos. And with it, many of the traditional American side dishes; we went from beans and rice, to beans, rice, stuffing, and cranberry sauce.

And for those of us who have become jaded by dry, overcooked turkey, the holidays have become more of a showcase for sides. Adding Latin touches to traditional holiday side dishes is just a natural progression of cultural melding.

Ditch the plain rice for cilantro-lime rice. Take garlic mashed potatoes over the threshold of Holiday Greatness with some roasted pasilla peppers. Crumble some cooked Mexican chorizo into your next cheese dip. And to crown your side dish-palozza, spike your cranberry sauce with chipotles. That’s right, this is no longer your mama’s cranberry sauce.
