Mexican Food Christmas Ornaments

Tacos are simply everywhere today, and of course a favorite of Mexican cuisine. It's a traditional dish made from a corn or flour tortilla folded around the fillings of your choice: shredded beef or chicken, grilled fish, or yummy vegetarian choices like guacamole or black beans. The versatility of the taco is what makes it so popular, a treat found in restaurants, on food trucks, or as one of the most popular forms of street food around.

The two glass ornaments shown here are a perfect way to celebrate the delicious yumminess of the taco...even at Christmastime! 

Food trucks are everywhere, and carrying all kinds of food today. Here's a colorful ornament made to resemble an authentic Mexican food truck. You'll definitely get some delighted giggles if you give this one as a gift to any Mexican food lover.

Jalapeno, serrano, poblano...hot peppers are ubiquitous in Mexican cuisine. Roasted and chopped, they're great to spice up any salsa. You can add them to a marinade for meat or chicken. You can pickle them and add to tacos, or saute and add them to a quesadilla.  You can stuff them full of cheese or meat to make a chile relleno.

No matter how you enjoy them, they are certainly an essential element in Mexican cooking. So of course they deserve a place on a Mexican food-themed Christmas tree! There are both glass ornaments and even chile pepper Christmas lights...what could be better?

Here's one last ornament perfect for a Mexican food theme. Tortilla salads are super-popular these days, a (perhaps?) healthier way to enjoy the flavors of a taco or nachos where you can eat as much (or as little) of the taco shell as you like.
