How to Cook dishes from Mexico
Mexican cuisine combines the traditional indigenous ingredients
of native American cuisine
with
ingredients imported from
Europe:
- Corn, beans and chillies are the most well-known Mexican ingredients,
and all have been part of the Mexican diet for thousands of years.
- Mexico was ruled by
Spain for three hundred years -
so the cuisine also features many Spanish influences, which
include the introduction of sugar, cheese and livestock to the Mexican diet.
Additionally, fruits and vegetables also form an important part of the Mexican
diet - these include
tomatoes, squash, sweet potatoes, coconut, pineapple, papya, avocado and prickly pear cactus.
Some popular and well-known Mexican dishes include:
- Chili con carne - A spicy stew (usually beef or pork) with chili peppers.
- Guacamole - A dip/relish created using avocado, the recipe for which dates back to pre-Columbian times.
As well as avocado, ingredients usually include tomatoes and salt, and sometimes lime juice, onions, and spices.
- Tortilla - A flat unleavened bread made from ground maize (corn) or wheat flour.
- Burrito (also known as "taco de harina") - A tortilla filled with meat, such as beef, pork
or chicken. Traditionally, meat is the only filling and the tortilla is rolled thin, however in
the United States, it has become the norm
to add other ingredients such as rice, beans, tomatoes,
salsa, guacamole, cheese or sour cream.
- Enchilada - A maize (corn) tortilla dipped in oil or lard and then enchilada sauce. The tortilla
is then filled, rolled, placed in a casserole dish and layered with sauce or other ingredients,
and finally baked.
- Nachos - This is a snackfood made by covering tortilla chips
(crispy fried wedges made from corn tortillas), and covering them
melted cheese or other toppings such as jalapeño peppers, onions,
salsa,
guacamole, beef or chili con carne.
