Thanksgiving is right around the corner and here at Latinas in Business we can’t help but think of our favorite holiday dishes. While the holiday is not traditionally celebrated in most Latin American countries, many U.S.based Latinos have adopted the holiday, blending cultures and traditions to make it their own.
And if there’s anything Latinos know well, it’s how to celebrate with good food and family. At its heart, Thanksgiving is a time to gather with loved ones, give thanks for our blessings, and share delicious food with one another.
Below are a few exciting recipes from Latina chefs who have added their own Latina inspired twists to traditional Thanksgiving dishes.
