The most famous Mexican dish. Mexican cuisine and traditional Mexican dishes

Mexican cuisine does not have a specific set of dishes that can be enjoyed in any corner of the country. Each region offers its own cuisine: the northern part uses the traditions of American and European cooking while preserving local flavor; in the central part of Mexico, the main ingredients are corn and spices; the southeastern part prefers aromatic vegetables and chicken; on the coast it is mainly prepared from fish and seafood. A distinctive feature of Mexican cuisine, in any region, is the use of spicy seasonings and sauces.

A culinary landmark of Mexico is salsa sauce - an incredibly spicy dish with the addition of tomatoes and cayenne pepper. It is seasoned with meat, fish, eggs and legumes. An equally fiery chili sauce is eaten with fruit and tequila. Mexicans also eat cacti. They are prepared in various ways or added fresh to salads; they taste similar to cucumbers. An exotic local dish is “Chicharones” - fried pieces of pork skin rolled into rolls. In supermarkets, the delicacy is sold like chips. A favorite dish of the indigenous people, tortillas, is made from corn flour. The flatbreads are eaten immediately after they are ready with the addition of sauce and filling.

You can try seafood on the coast hot, cold, in salads, and cocktails. Among octopus, squid, crabs and others, shrimp is a favorite delicacy. It is part of the famous Mexican cocktail based on cold tomato juice. It is poured into a thick-walled glass glass and tiny prepared shrimp and lemon juice are added, and the cocktail is sprinkled with onions, cilantro, and parsley on top. Large shrimp ten centimeters long and a couple of centimeters thick are served baked with onions and bell peppers or in curry sauce with honey.

Experienced travelers recommend trying the local salad of tuna, chopped onions, tomatoes, served in half an avocado. Guacamole paste, a famous national dish, is made from mashed avocado, lemon juice, onions and tomatoes. It is spread on tortillas or eaten as biscuits. Mexicans use tortillas instead of bread. The following dishes are worth trying:

1. Flatbreads with all sorts of contents: meat, chicken, fried, almost pureed pork, tongue or liver;
2. Tamales - maize pies filled with meat or vegetables or with a fruit and nut mixture;
3. Tortas - traditional sandwiches (toasted bread with meat, tomatoes, beans, onions and avocado);
4. Mole is a peanut sauce with cocoa served with shredded chicken;
5. Carnitas is a dish made from so-called pork fries;
6. Pozole is a meat broth with corn, spices and herbs. Additionally, it is served with freshly prepared cheese and fried potatoes;
7. Tostadas - a flour product with beans, lettuce, cream, cheese, tomatoes, hot sauce or meat;
8. Chiles en nogada – stuffed peppers, topped with a walnut-based sauce and sprinkled with pomegranate seeds;
9. Tamal - corn paste with meat, which is wrapped in a banana leaf (the latter is not eaten);
10. Molhaquete is a Mexican fondue that uses a cheese and sauce mixture; pieces of any meat or special cacti are dipped into it;
11. Arracera - marinated and well-pounded meat (the part located above the rib is used);
12. Sopa de Calabaza is a soup made from pumpkin flowers.

Local sweets that can be bought at the market or in supermarkets are also worthy of attention: thin waffles with boiled goat milk, coconut candies, candied fruits, mango or guava marmalade.

Fast food is popular in Mexico. Not everyone may like the dishes offered; tourists who have visited the country say that if you add onions, cilantro, a little sauce and lime juice to the meat dish served, it will turn out piquant and quite edible. A local restaurant may serve a simple-looking dish, but its taste will be unusual: salted butter with garlic and cilantro, served with hot buns, or a salad of finely chopped vegetables, slightly spicy, eaten with biscuits. The main dish in Mexico is meat cooked in various sauces. At the restaurant, you should order pork, which is stewed in spicy orange juice. Serve as a side dish: fried potatoes or rice, bean paste or cauliflower with fried banana.

Maize has long been considered the main product of Mexicans. Not only dishes, but also drinks are prepared from it. The drink is made from an infusion of maize flour (filled with water and kept for several days). The modern drink “Horchata” has a similar recipe, the difference is in the use of rice flour. The result is a kind of cocktail reminiscent of milk. Mexicans drink large quantities of freshly squeezed juices from oranges, tangerines, and pineapples. Exotic tamarind juice is black in color and is believed to be the best thirst quencher. Mexicans make a decoction of flowers - hamayka. On hot days, you can drink regular water, but preferably bottled water. They sell it everywhere on the streets; in hotels they bring you a large bottle of water every day to drink.

Drinks containing alcohol in Mexico are drunk in small sips from small containers. A glass of tequila with a volume of fifty grams is stretched throughout the evening. There are more than three hundred types of tequila here. It is obtained from agave juice through repeated distillation. There are four officially recognized brands of tequila: Blanco, Joven, Reposado and Anejo. They make pulque from agave (a milky liquid with a viscous consistency, which is obtained by fermenting concentrated agave juice) and mezcal (it is also obtained by fermenting agave juice). Locals call the beer chelada - salt and lemon juice are added to it. The Michelada, a cocktail made from light beer, lime, red pepper, salt and ice, is a spicy drink that not everyone can drink. Wine is produced in the northwestern regions.

When talking about Mexican cuisine, the first thing that comes to mind is corn, which is used here as the basis of all flour products, a source of starch, oil, and also as a universal side dish - corn porridge. The main and, of course, the most popular Mexican dish in the world is tortillas, which are dry corn tortillas in which anything is wrapped: chopped meat, vegetables, fruits, herbs, etc. Variations on the theme of tortillas are tachos, which involve the use of legumes and chili peppers as a filling, as well as quesadillos, which are based on meat or cheese.

Mexican vegetables deserve special attention, they are considered one of the best in the world, thanks to the hot local sun. Juicy tomatoes are used here in almost any Mexican recipe, which is reflected in the photos of local dishes, which are characterized by a bright red color scheme. As for chili peppers, this is a feature of Mexican cuisine, which gives it an extraordinary spiciness that is not typical for European or Oriental cooking. One of the most popular Mexican sauces, Tabasco, is made from hot peppers.

The best Mexican recipes always use lots of herbs and spices. The most characteristic in this regard are coriander, parsley, oregano, cumin, onion, garlic, peppercorns, anise and cinnamon. The abundance of herbs and seasonings explains the rich, rich taste of any dish. The sauces here are also prepared especially concentrated, with minimal addition of water. Among the vegetables, in addition to tomatoes and peppers, Mexican cuisine is characterized by spinach, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, as well as such wonders as Jerusalem artichoke and vegetable bananas. Among fruits, Mexicans prefer avocados, bananas, pears, guava and papaya.

Recipes for Mexican cuisine, supplemented with step-by-step photos of the cooking process, presented on the KitchenMag website, will become useful culinary techniques for both an experienced and a novice cook.

Another popular cuisine of the world that I was able to try while vacationing in Mexico is Mexican cuisine. I must admit, its main and characteristic feature is the addition of chili pepper to almost all dishes, so all dishes are so spicy that they had to be washed down with refreshing drinks.

I learned about Mexican cuisine and its history from, where they make incomparable tequila, be sure to read this article. As the guide, whom I met through other tourists, told me, Mexican cuisine began its ascent at the beginning of the 16th century, thanks to the reunification of Spanish and Indian traditions.

The first dishes of the Mexican forge were not a very rich choice; they included only bean and corn tortillas, tomatoes and dishes made from chili peppers and other spices. Then it was the Spaniards who brought new products to this country, such as wheat, rice, meat, herbs, wine and even cheese products.

Since the end of the 16th century, Mexican cuisine has been known throughout the world for its delicious dishes and traditional cooking recipes. Currently, all recipes for preparing traditional Mexican dishes have not changed.

Basic ingredients of Mexican cuisine

As I have already said, all the recipes for traditional dishes have not changed and are prepared from the same ingredients as in the early 16th century. All Mexican cuisine has its own traditional ingredients: beans, corn, hot chili peppers and its varieties, many hot spices, cactus, meat, cocoa...

On the coast of Mexico there is a contrast of seafood dishes with the same listed ingredients. The main ingredient of dishes in Mexico is beans of various types; in each individual region of this country several dozen of this crop grow and each type of bean has its own taste. Having tried four types of black beans, I did not feel any difference, as for me the taste is the same, as they say, “beans are beans in Africa.”

The most important place in traditional Mexican cuisine is occupied by corn; all the abundance of dishes in this cuisine consists mostly of the ingredient - corn in any of its forms. As for chili peppers, this is the second ingredient in the cuisine; there are more than 78 varieties of it in Mexico.

As for meat, before Indian cuisine learned Spanish innovations, the variety was game (snakes, beetles, birds, iguanas...). Nowadays you won’t find such dishes anymore; now the meat we are all familiar with is prepared here; fish dishes are especially delicious, for example, swordfish with lemon or cod with garlic.

• By the way, everything about prices, reviews and other aspects of a vacation by the sea can be found on a separate page.

Of all the traditional drinks in Mexico, it is, of course, worth highlighting tequila, the only country where you can taste real tequila. In other countries where I was able to try tequila, I was disappointed; a truly authentic and traditional Mexican drink called tequila can only be made in its homeland.

I don’t know why I remember the taste of tequila in Mexico, but I will say one thing: you must drink tequila freshly prepared. Yes, there are drinks aged in barrels for several years, but they don’t taste the same. By the way, on an excursion in France I learned a lot of useful things about barrels for fermenting wine and other alcoholic beverages; it turns out that the quality of the material and the method of assembling the barrel greatly affects the taste, you can read about this in a separate article.

Another drink that belongs to the cuisine of Mexico is the traditional drink “Mezcal”, to be honest, it is the same as tequila, but for some reason it is considered a separate drink here; the taste seemed to me to be a little higher in alcohol content, and the color was a little cleaner.

In fact, to check the quality of the Mezcal drink, traditionally they put a caterpillar in a glass, then pour the drink, if the caterpillar does not dissolve, then the drink is considered high quality, but I don’t know who will drink it after the caterpillar. After learning this tradition, I never touched the Mexican drink Mezcal again!

Mezcal is one of the traditional drinks of Mexico

As for Mexican wines, all the wines that are produced here are made using European technologies. You won’t find traditional Mexican wines here, but you can try drinks such as Don Pedro brandy, which you will really like, and real Mexican Corona beer.

The most popular traditional dishes of Mexican cuisine

In order to avoid your misunderstanding of all Mexican dishes, I will explain a little what a tortilla is. Almost all Mexican cuisine consists of tortillas. A tortilla is a soft and thin wheat or corn tortilla.

Burrito - tortilla flatbread stuffed with minced meat (beans, avocado, rice, cheese...)

Tacos are a tortilla dish filled with various fillings - beef, pork, chicken, seafood...

Quesadilla

Enchilada

Nachos are tortilla chips with various additives, a snack from Mexican cuisine.

A bunch of dishes made from the diversity of all the flora and fauna that live in Mexico, the most important thing that shocked me is that you won’t find imported products here like in Russia, here everything is prepared from our own!

You can see the names of dishes of Mexican traditional cuisine in any restaurant in your city; there is not enough space to list them, because one dish may have a composition of ingredients, but if you add one spice, this dish will have a different name. I advise you to learn less theory and try more Mexican cuisine along with the site, do not forget to subscribe to the latest articles about tourism.

Mexican cuisine or national cuisine of Mexico- this is not just a set of culinary recipes, these are the most ancient customs and traditions of the Aztecs, carried down to the present day in almost unchanged form. In addition, it is a global cultural heritage that has been recognized by UNESCO.

The surprising thing is that throughout the history of Mexican cuisine, it has undergone virtually no changes. Even the ancient utensils that were used in the cooking process have been preserved. Therefore, do not be surprised if, when you go to Mexico, you see how spices are ground in stone mortars to prepare this or that sauce.

The peculiarity of Mexican cuisine is, first of all, predetermined by its geographical location and climatic conditions, thanks to which the variety of fruits and vegetables in this country is simply amazing! In general, we can distinguish three main products that are most often used in cooking. These are corn, beans, and chili peppers.

Corn is a central staple in Mexican cuisine. They use it in all possible forms.

• For example, flour is made from it, which is the basis for tortillas or corn tortillas. This product, in turn, has become one of the main components in the preparation of such traditional dishes:
• a burrito is a meat pie, or rather a meat filling with beans, rice, tomatoes and cheese, which is wrapped in a corn tortilla;
• enchilada - an envelope of corn tortilla stuffed with chicken or other meat and beans, topped with cheese sauce;
• Chimichangas are tortilla tubes filled with chicken or beef, tomatoes and cheese, fried in a large amount of oil;

huevos - scrambled eggs baked on corn tortillas.

Also, instead of bread, tortillas are served with salad and all kinds of sauces.

It is believed that Mexican national dishes are invariably spicy. Some even believe that it is almost impossible to eat such food. But this is not entirely true... As a rule, the sauces prepared for the dish are spicy, for example, the famous “Salsa”. The main courses themselves can be neutral. For example, prepared fish or meat can be eaten without fear by those who are not used to spicy food. The spiciness of sauces can be adjusted to your taste.

Of the soups in Mexican cuisine, the most famous is the so-called tortilla soup. It is a chicken broth to which fried garlic and onions, tomatoes, cilantro, cumin, black pepper, chili pepper, and jalapeno pepper are added. The soup is served by adding fried tortillas and a little grated cheese. It turns out quite spicy.

Fajita is best known as a second course. These are grilled meats, seafood and vegetables that are wrapped in a tartilla. This dish is similar to a burrito, but unlike fajita, the corn tortilla is not stuffed, but is served separately. This way, everyone can choose the filling to their taste. As for the side dish, boiled rice or beans are served with the main dish.

A famous dessert of traditional Mexican cuisine is called Calabaza. It consists of ginger and pumpkin, which are preserved with cane sugar. Also, just fresh fruit can serve as dessert.

And to top it all off, we can’t help but mention tequila, a strong alcoholic drink made from blue guava. She has become a real symbol of the country!

The best way to get acquainted with the national cuisine of Mexico is by traveling to this wonderful country or visiting a restaurant (cafe) serving traditional cuisine. However, don't think that you can't cook Mexican food at home. It's not that difficult! Just follow the recipes with photos that are given on this site and then you will certainly succeed!

The Mexican snack tacos, or tacos, are flatbreads with filling. And they can be made very simply and quickly at home for an interesting snack: with chicken, vegetables, meat and even avocado and olives!

Making stuffed tacos couldn't be easier. It is important that the tortillas are prepared in advance, not necessarily made from corn flour. I must say that wheat tortillas are just as good and much easier to prepare. It is also important that by the time the tacos are prepared, all the filling components are ready, arranged in separate bowls or plates.

• 6-8 pcs Tortillas (wheat or corn)
• 150 gr Beef
• 1 pc Sweet pepper
• 2 pcs Hot pepper
• 1 piece Bow
• 1 piece Tomato
• 1 bunch Cilantro, parsley
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 piece Lime
• 2 tbsp. Olive oil
• to taste Salt, coriander, sugar, dry aromatic herbs, chili

Tortillas are corn tortillas and are easy to make. You need good, high-quality finely ground corn flour. If there are difficulties, it is quite possible to bake flatbreads from wheat flour or a mixture by frying them in a dry frying pan. Tortillas bake quickly, it is important that they are fresh and bend.

The composition of the filling is arbitrary, but meat is desirable. And spiciness is still a traditional feature of Mexican cuisine. You will need fresh sweet peppers - red or green, a couple of hot pepper pods, an onion, a ripe tomato, a lime and a bunch of herbs. However, use your imagination; tasty additives are quite appropriate.

Cut the onion into thin strips, add the juice of half a medium-sized lime, a pinch of salt and sugar, and a pinch of dry mixture of aromatic herbs, rubbed with your fingers. Place the onions in the refrigerator for half an hour to marinate. Then squeeze out excess liquid from the onion.

Prepare fresh tomato sauce if homemade is not possible. But, you don’t need to use ketchup from a bag. Tomato – very ripe, scald with boiling water, remove skin and seeds. Finely chop the pulp with a knife. Thoroughly remove seeds and white inner membranes from one hot pepper. Chop the pepper very finely with a knife.

Heat 1 tbsp in a frying pan. olive oil and fry a mixture of pepper and tomato in it, adding a pinch of salt, sugar and dry aromatic herbs. If the sauce is not hot enough, feel free to add dry chili powder. As a result, the sauce should be very thick, aromatic and spicy.

Finely chop all the greens and mix with pickled onions. Add finely chopped garlic cloves, then stir. Meat – preferably veal without fat and films. Grind the meat with a meat grinder, making minced meat. Sweet and hot peppers that remain, peel and chop with a knife, slightly larger than hot peppers for sauce.

Heat 1 tbsp in a frying pan. olive oil and fry the minced meat and chopped pepper in it. The heat under the frying pan should be above medium and the frying pan should not be covered with a lid. Meat and vegetables should be fried, not stewed.

5 minutes before the end of frying, add a pinch of salt and ground coriander. The time for frying meat with pepper is 15-20 minutes. It's enough. It is necessary that almost all the moisture from the minced meat evaporates. Then the minced meat should cool to room temperature.

Place 1-2 tbsp on each tortilla. minced meat with pepper, 1 tbsp. pickled onions with herbs, add tomato sauce with chili - to taste. Fold the flatbread in half so that the minced meat is evenly distributed inside the flatbread. Fill all the tacos with minced meat in this manner.

Actually, the tacos are ready. If you make a lot of these tacos, you can garnish them with herbs and serve them with cold Mexican beer and a wedge of lime. Tacos can be prepared in advance, but freshly prepared they are the most delicious.

Recipe 2: Chicken tacos (step by step with photos)

Tacos are tortillas in which Mexicans wrap a variety of fillings. These flatbreads resemble Armenian lavash, but are round in shape. They are packed in vacuum packaging, which is very convenient - they can be stored for up to six months, lying quietly in the closet. At the right time, when you need to quickly feed your family, you can create a small culinary masterpiece from them - just heat them in the microwave and fill them with everything you have in the refrigerator.

• tortillas
• ketchup
• mayonnaise
• mozzarella cheese
• chicken breast
• Cherry tomatoes
• bell pepper
• watercress
• lettuce leaves

Tortillas are sold in these packages and come in different sizes.

When I cook chicken breast fillets, I cut off the so-called arrow - a small part - it always gets in the way. Such arrows from four to five fillets correspond in weight to one full fillet. You can make tacos with them and feed the whole family with one breast.

Fry the chicken breasts and cut into pieces.

Prepare the filling: wash and dry the lettuce, chop the bell pepper, cherry tomatoes and cheese. As you already understood, the filling can be very diverse.

Place one tortilla on a microwave-safe plate.

Top with pieces of mozzarella cheese and pieces of fried fillet. Any other cheese that melts well will also work. Microwave the tortilla on full power for 30-40 seconds.

While the flatbread is hot, pour ketchup or mayonnaise over it, add tomatoes and pepper.

Add lettuce leaves.

Wrap the flatbread and secure with a toothpick. Prepare the rest of the flatbreads in the same way and, when the last one is ready, put them all together in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.

Your homemade fast food is ready. Not even half an hour has passed!

Place the taco tortilla in a preheated dry frying pan for 30 seconds. It should dry on one side first. Then repeat with the second tortilla.

Now fold the tortillas in half by hand, but do not make an obvious sharp fold - you want a smooth transition - you will place the filling in this indentation. Now dry the cakes on the other side in a frying pan.

In a frying pan heated with vegetable oil, fry the pork pieces until cooked over high heat. There is no need to cut the meat too finely - pieces 4-5 cm long and 3-4 cm wide are suitable, salt and pepper the meat to your taste.

To season the filling, prepare the sauce - mix yogurt with mustard and honey.

Cut the hot meat finer, chop the brie cheese, rinse the bell pepper and cut into cubes. Mix the filling with the resulting sauce.
