In Mexico, traditional Christmas meals often include tamales, pozole, and bacalao (salt cod). Tamales are made with masa (corn dough) and are filled with different ingredients like chicken, pork, or cheese. Pozole is a soup made with hominy and pork or chicken. Bacalao is a popular dish in Mexico, especially in the Baja region. It is a fish dish made with salted cod that is soaked overnight to remove the excess salt. It is then cooked with vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and onions.
