Pozole: Christmas Eve, or Nochebuena, is a time for families to come together and enjoy a comforting bowl of pozole. This traditional soup combines hominy corn, tender pork, and a rich, flavorful broth made from dried chili peppers and spices. Topped with fresh radishes, shredded lettuce, oregano, and a squeeze of lime, pozole is a festive and filling dish that warms the soul.

Families gather to assemble these corn masa pockets filled with a variety of delicious fillings, such as shredded chicken in mole sauce or spicy pork with salsa verde. Wrapped in corn husks and steamed to perfection, tamales are a culinary masterpiece that symbolizes unity and the spirit of Christmas.
