Nothing is more American than Thanksgiving and apple pie. And while this American holiday is rooted in tradition, food always has a way of connecting cultures and creating new traditions. Add some Latino inspired flavor into your Thanksgiving dinner this year and you may be seeing it again on the menu next Thanksgiving. We’ve rounded up four delectable recipes to add some extra spice to your standard green beans and casserole dish.

1. Pumpkin Pie Flan

Here at MBG, we love flan and we equally love pumpkin pie. Mix the two together and you have a dessert made in heaven. Be the hero of Thanksgiving dinner when you show up with this Pumpkin Pie Flan, curated by chef Denise Browning of Easy and Delish.

2. Chorizo & Cornbread Stuffing

Chef Aarón Sánchez upgrades traditional stuffing with Mexican chorizo that makes this dish the most flavorful cornbread stuffing we have ever tried.

3. Chipotle Coca-Cola Sweet Potatoes

Alejandra Ramos of Always Order Desert gets creative with her unique take on sweet potatoes. Fusing together spicy chipotle and sweet and fizzy Coca-Cola, she creates an unforgettable recipe that we will be making each and every Thanksgiving from now on.
