When you think of southern cooking, what pops to mind? Perhaps you conjure a big plate of soul food, or imagine a nice serving of shrimp and grits. However, what you might not have imagined initially is Mexican food, which is near and dear to Miranda Lambert's heart. After all, it's what she likes to eat on holidays, as noted by a post on her Instagram page. To that end, Lambert has said she's been striving to create cuisine that can compare to her mom's amazing dishes. "We are from Texas where Mexican food is a staple weekly dish for most families," she explained in an interview with Southern Living. "Mom's enchiladas would stand up against anybody's!" We believe it!

That's why Lambert is committed to mastering this family recipe, which sounds like a delicious endeavor. "I'm going to keep working on it though," she continued. "The worst enchiladas are wonderful and I love the research!"

If you wondered, Thanksgiving is a bit more traditional at chez Lambert, with ham, stuffing, and, of course, turkey. "My dad's been deep-frying the turkey, which is sometimes wild turkey, because we hunt," she told Good Housekeeping.
