If you dine out often with kids, you know that it can sometimes be hard to find things they like to eat. That's not usually a problem at a Mexican restaurant, though. Many kids love traditional menu items like tacos and quesadillas, and many restaurants also offer other kid-friendly items like french fries and chicken.
Tres Leches is another popular dessert and commonly served during celebrations. It’s a sponge cake that’s been soaked in three different kinds of milk. The three milks include: evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream.
Were nachos, tortilla chips topped with cheese and other tasty ingredients, first developed in Mexico or in the U.S. Southwest? If you guessed this delicious appetizer was first crafted in Mexico, you're right.
Cilantro is a key ingredient in Mexican salsa and it contains powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial qualities. This pungent herb helps remove heavy metals like mercury and lead from the body, which is one of the many reasons it's a staple in so-called "detox" diets.
Salsa taquera (or taco sauce) is traditionally smoother than a standard salsa and is perhaps more American than Mexican. It's made of cooked tomatoes that have been spiced with chiles, vinegar, and garlic.
Contemporary Mexican cuisine is a product of the merging of two cultures. The combining of indigenous and Spanish influences over a long period of time has resulted in food that is truly unique and unmistakably Mexican.
The original Americans who became fans of Mexican food were members of the military. During the late 1800’s, the War Department agreed to allow canners in San Antonio feed their soldiers chili con carne.
The word “fajita” means “little belt” in Spanish, referring to a cut of skirt steak underneath the heart and lungs. The food originates from cattle drives along the Rio Grande Valley and was popularized by Mama Ninfa Laurenzo in the 1970s.
If you're watching your diet for health reasons, it's still easy to enjoy tasty Mexican food. Skip the tortilla chips at the beginning of the meal, and order an entree with grilled meat and vegetables. Salsa, pico de gallo, and cilantro are all good ways to add lots of flavor with hardly any calories or fat.
During the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, the plazas of the historic city of San Antonio would fill at dusk with Chili Queens, women who would make chili at home and then sell it on makeshift carts and tables.
Did you know that the most common ingredient in all Mexican cuisine is corn? Just like the ancient civilizations that lived in the region, Mexicans have learned to incorporate corn into almost every meal.
Tortillas are what kind of bread? If you guessed "flat" bread, you're right. Flat breads do not contain leavening agents that make them rise, and are among the oldest breads known to man.
There are a lot of dishes in Mexico that revolve around their sauces, including entomatada, adobo or adobados, pipians and moles. All these dishes have a very unique taste thanks to their sauces.
Did you know that the origins of salsa (traditionally combining chilies, tomatoes, and various spices) can actually be traced to the ancient Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas? However, the exact “recipe” for the salsa evolved according to geographic location and culture.
The Mexican tamale can actually be traced back to Pre-Columbian times. The earliest Western documentation of this dish was written by the Friar Bernardino de Sahagun, who was served a tamale by the Aztecs in the 1550s.
Are you curious about what Ceviche is? It can be made with shrimp, lobster, or tilapia combined with a marinade of vinegar/citrus juice from lemons & limes. Tomatoes, cilantro, & onions are usually added!
