2. Only Mexican Dishes Need Apply: One of the best Christmas dinner mashups I’ve ever hosted was my infamous Mexican Christmas (works for Thanksgiving, too). Not a turkey in sight, the menu was beef burritos, chicken quesadillas, Mexican rice, “fresh” salsa (courtesy of canned Rotel Tomatoes w/ chili peppers) pico de gallo, fresh guacamole, all washed down with a great sangria made from scratch. Oh, and homemade pecan turtle cheesecake.
