These easy traditional Guatemalan recipes are everything you need to celebrate 15 de septiembre, Guatemala’s Independence Day, or Hispanic Heritage Month. From savory dishes like tamales colorados, enchiladas, chiles rellenos, and Guatemala’s national dish pepian, to classic Guatemalan desserts like canillitas de leche, buñuelos, and rellenitos de plátano. These are the authentic recipes I grew up with and still make for my family every September, and all year long.
Tamales colorados are the red, banana-leaf tamales Guatemalans eat at midnight on Christmas Eve. This is the recipe I make for Christmas: cooked corn masa, pork or chicken, and a tomato recado thickened with toasted pumpkin and sesame seeds. It makes 20, freezes well, and I walk you through every step, from cooking the masa to folding the leaves.
