6 Latina Foodstagrammers Share Their Favorite Navidad Dishes That Remind Them of Home

"This is a recipe that reminds me of my childhood and my home country, Honduras, during Christmastime. These are a type of tamales common in Central America that usually have beef or pork in them, along with a bunch of fixings and a red recado [a blend of spices]," says Maria Sierra, founder of blog and Instagram La Cooquete. "They stand out because they are wrapped in banana leaves. They are common in Central America and my tías, grandmother and mom used to do HUNDREDS of them all at once at the beginning of the holidays and freeze them. Every family gathering featured tamales, they were the perfect snack and thing to offer just in case more visitors showed up!". Find the full recipe on her blog.
