FAMOUS MEXICAN FOODS!


MEXICAN TACOS- A taco (pronounced /ˈtɑːkoʊ/) is a traditional Mexican dish composed of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling. A taco can be made with a variety of fillings, including beef, chicken, seafood, vegetables and cheese, allowing for great versatility and variety. A taco is generally eaten without utensils and is often accompanied by garnishes such as salsa, cilantro, tomatoes, onions and lettuce.



MENUDO- The soup menudo is a traditional Mexican dish; a frequently spicy soup made with tripe. It supposedly cures hangover by inducing sweating, causing the release of toxins. Is traditionally served on special occasions or with family. Usually, lime, chopped onions, and chopped cilantro are added and some also add crushed oregano and extra crushed red chili peppers for a spicier taste.





BIRRIA-Birria (pronounced bírria, accented on the first syllable) is a spicy Mexican meat stew usually made with goat, lamb, or mutton, often served during festive periods, such as Christmas, New Year's Eve, Mother's Day, and weddings. Originally from Jalisco, it is a common dish in some Mexican food establishments. It is served with corn tortillas, onion, cilantro, and lime.







POZOLE-Pozole (from Spanish pozole, from Nahuatl potzolli, which means "foamy"; variant spellings: posole, pozolé, pozolli) is a traditional pre-Columbian soup or stew from Mexico. Pozole was mentioned in Fray Bernardino de Sahagún's "General History of the Things of New Spain" circa 1500 C.E.. It is made from nixtamalized cacahuazintle corn, with meat, usually pork, chicken, turkey, pork rinds, sardine, chili pepper, and other seasonings and garnish. Vegetarian and vegan versions also exist. After colonization by the Spaniards, the ingredients of pozole changed, but the staple, corn remained. It is a typical dish in various states such as Michoacán, Guerrero, Jalisco, Morelos, México and Distrito Federal. Pozole is often served in Mexican restaurants in the American Southwest. In many places it is considered a delicacy and is not an everyday food.




FLAUTAS- Of all the Mexican Antojitos(little snacks), the most popular has got be the flauta (little flute). The flauta is simply a crispy fried tightly rolled up corn tortilla, filled with some simple ingredients, and topped with a couple of garnishes and salsas - Very simple, always fried, and always very very good.
