Mexican-inspired Holiday Recipes

If you’re looking to elevate your holiday season with a burst of Mexican culinary excellence, then chef Rick Martinez has you covered. The renowned culinary chef known for his bold flavors partnered with

Topo Chico Hard Seltzer to pair the brand’s signature refreshing flavors with his bold Mexican culinary flare.

The duo whipped up three recipes to take the stress out of what to add to your holiday menu.

• Recipe 1: Tostada Chocolate Bark Nothing says festive quite like chocolate holiday bark! This take on chocolate bark uses store bought tostadas covered with melted chocolate and topped with dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds and flakey sea salt. Once they cool, break the bark into pieces, and enjoy with Topo Chico Hard Seltzer Strawberry Guava to balance out the chocolate flavors with the tangy, crisp taste from the Strawberry Guava.
• Recipe 2: Guajillo and Coconut Milk Braised Pork Ribs Elegant enough for a holiday table but easy enough for a casual weekend dinner, these fall-off-the-bone braised pork ribs will transport you to a tropical holiday on the beach. These flavorful ribs pair perfectly with Topo Chico Hard Seltzer Tropical Mango. Braise two racks of pork ribs with canned coconut milk, dried chile guajillo, and dried mango for a creamy, sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy sauce to top these tender ribs. The hint of clove and allspice dresses these ribs up for the holidays, while the mango adds a sweet-tart note that the Topo Chico Hard Seltzer Tropical Mango complements.
• Recipe 3: Cacahuates Enchilados (Spicy Roasted Peanuts) A quick and easy, spicy snack perfect for those spontaneous holiday gatherings. Toss the peanuts with chile seasoning powder and butter and bake for 10 minutes until toasted and crunchy. Topo Chico Hard Seltzer Tropical Mango pairs perfectly with this dish, balancing out the spices with its fruity crip, clean taste.

These recipes are sure to infuse a touch of Mexican-inspired magic into your holiday celebrations.
