FAMOUS MEXICAN FOODS!
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.
