Christmas Eve Tradition

For my family, Christmas Eve isn't complete without a true Tex-Mex meal. Christmas Eve means tamales, and good old fashioned Tex-Mex comfort food, past years have included tamales, guacamole, shrimp poblano pepper soup and of course, the staple for tonight, enchiladas.

The recipe for the enchiladas will be found on my mother's blog, http://www.texas-to-mexico.blogspot.com/, they are a family favorite!


















The tamales aren't homemade but darn close to! Our favorite Mexican bakery/eatery (the finest breakfast tacos you'll ever eat!) is called Juarez and is located on Mays in Round Rock, Texas...



Juarez always has a line for their breakfast and bakery items on the weekends (and some weekdays) - tamale orders typically have to be placed early for Christmas. One of our favorite traditions that I wanted to share. Merry Christmas!

You and your mother are determined to make me sooooo jealous of those lovely tamales and to think I have to wait another year to visit and have my beloved Tex-Mex again...boo hoo hoo...
