Mexican food is one of the best and most delicious gastronomy around the world. Mexico is recognized for its Mexican cuisine made by hands of Mexican people. What is amazing is the amount of love and dedication that it is put in each food to make everyone that tastes it love it. A significant important fact about Mexican food is that each state of Mexico is known for a specific kind of “platillo” (food). It is incredible that these Mexican dishes are known in many parts around the world. I am positive sure that many individuals that are not from Mexico or live in Mexico know what the best-known Mexican dishes are. For example, tacos, tamales, pozole, enchiladas, sopes, birria, tostadas, and mole are among the most known and delicious dishes that many people know. Mexicans and non-Mexicans enjoy eating this kind of food! In fact, it is well known that all those dishes have one thing in common; they all need a tortilla to be eaten with. We all know what a tortilla is. First of all, there are two kinds of tortilla, flour and corn. Corn tortillas are mostly used for every dish. It will be explained what is a tortilla and how corn tortillas are made. A tortilla is a type of thin round flatbread, made from hominy maize, also known as corn. Corn is made into a masa, and water is added to start the process of making the tortilla. A tortilla press is needed to make the tortilla rounded. To make the corn masa into tortillas it is important to mix the masa and add salt and water together in a mixing bowl. Then both hands will be used to knead the dough in the bowl until it is smooth and not sticky. After it is done, little balls from the masa have to be made. Each little masa ball will be put on the tortilla press to make a tortilla. Finally, it will be transported to a hot griddle to fully cook the tortilla so it is ready to be eat it. A spicy dish is a torta ahogada, which is a torta made out of pork and fully drowned in chile de arbol sauce. Yes, it is very spicy! The most spices use in Mexican dishes are salt, pepper, oregano, cumin, cinnamon, cloves, and garlic. These spices give the Mexican platillos the flavor on their ingredients. A fun fact is that almost every dish is prepared with tomato, onion, and chili. They make the best salsa fresca or pico de gallo or every meal. By mixing these three ingredients, the dish has its beautiful red, white, and green colours. These colors represent the Mexican flag. My best dish is tacos. I do not mind what kind of meat it has on the inside as long as it is made into a taco. Making a Mexican dish may take from 10 minutes to 4 hours, depending on how elaborate the dish is. The most common agua fresca is agua de Jamaica, a flower used to make this water by boiling it and diluting it with water and adding sugar. Chiles rellenos are another type of dish that could be eat it with anything inside the poblano peppers. These peppers are breaded and fried once the cheese, vegetables, or meat are filled inside the chiles. They are typically served with a sauce all over the chiles and with rice or beans on the side, and of course a corn tortilla.
