  • Mexican food is a combination of both Aztec and Spanish origins. Many family recipes made with these foods have been handed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.

    Common Mexican Foods

    Among the most common of Mexican foods is the tortilla, made of ground maize mixed with water. Tortillas are used in many dishes such as tacos, enchiladas, or quesadillas. They also accompany most meals, just as bread does in other cultures.

    A Basic Staple: Beans

    Beans are another common Mexican food. They are a main staple in meals and are usually served as either a main or side dish.

    Traditional

    In a truly authentic Mexican kitchen you will never see an absence of the traditional salsa. This is a sauce made with either red or green tomatoes, hot peppers and cilantro.

    A Touch of Green

    Mexican kitchens are not complete without the Avocado. These are served alone as a side dish or in different types of guacamole. Some guacamole dishes use mashed avocado, diced onion, and cilantro, while others are a salsa garnished with avocado pieces.

    Found in All Regions

    Mexican food is known throughout the world for its variety in taste and color. Many of these basic staples are home grown or can be bought inexpensively in all regions of the country.
