amigos! My name is Mad Fazwan bin Aidros and today, I would like to talk about comida
Mexicana or Mexican food in English. So, after doing several research and
reading, I did found top ten most favourable food among tourist when they are
visiting Mexico. Mexico known as one of the most popular destination among food
lovers around the world. So, before leaving Mexico or planning to come here,
make sure you need to taste this top ten Mexico food.
Don’t
leave Mexico without trying…
1- Chilaquiles
Chicken Chilaquiles
This
famous conventional breakfast dish highlights delicately singed corn tortillas
cut into quarters and finished with green or red salsa (the red is marginally
spicier). Scrambled or fried eggs and pulled chicken are usually added on top,
as well as cheddar and cream. Chilaquiles are often served with a healthy dose
of frijoles (refried beans).
2- Pozole
Pozole is a traditional soup or stew from
Mexico, which once had ritual significance. Usually
Pozole is made from horminy and meat ( usually pork ). These days chicken, pork
and vegetarian pozole versions are readily available in more everyday
surroundings. Made using hominy corn with a lot of herbs and flavors, the dish
is customarily stewed for a considerable length of time, regularly overnight.
When prepared to serve, lettuce, radish, onion, lime and bean stew are
sprinkled on top.
3- Tacos al pastor
Beef
is marinated in a combination of dried chilies, spices and pineapple. In some
places, Achiote is also added, and then slowly cooked with a gas flame on a
vertical rotisserie called a trompo (lit: spinning top), fundamentally the same
as how shawarma is cooked, with a bit of crisp onion and a pineapple on top. When
ready, the meat is then thinly sliced off the spit with a large knife. It is
served on little tortillas, with finely cleaved onions, cilantro, and
infrequently, a little cut of pineapple, and generally finished with some lemon
or lime juice and hot salsa.
4- Tostadas
Tostadas are a simple yet delightful dish combining corn
tortillas fried in boiling oil until they become crunchy and golden. These are
then served alone or heaped high with any number of
garnishes. Popular toppings include frijoles (refried beans), cheese, cooked
meat, seafood and ceviche (seafood dish).
5- Chiles en nogada
Gloating the three shades of the Mexican flag,
chiles en nogada is one of Mexico's most devoted dishes. Poblano chillies
loaded with picadillo (a blend of cleaved meat, (fruits and spices) represent
the green on the flag, the walnut-based cream sauce is the white and
pomegranate seeds the red.
6- Elote
You’ll find someone selling elote, the Mexican
name for corn on the cob, on nearly every city street corner in Mexico. The
corn is customarily bubbled and served either on a stick (to be eaten like an
ice-cream) or in mugs, the pieces having been removed the cob. Salt, bean stew
powder, lime, margarine, cheddar mayonnaise and sour cream are then included
abundance.
7- Enchiladas
Nowadays both corn and flour tortillas are used
and are loaded with meat, cheese, fish, beans, vegetables or the majority of
the above. The stuffed tortillas are then covered in a chilli sauce making for
a perfect Mexican breakfast.
8- Mole
There are myriad types of mole but
all contain around 20 or so ingredients, including one or more varieties of
chilli peppers, and all require continuous stirring over a long period of time.
Perhaps the best-known mole is mole poblano, a rusty red sauce usually served
over turkey or chicken.
9- Guacamole
Guacamole
is made from mashed up avocadoes, onions, tomatoes, lemon juice and chilli
peppers (and sometimes a clove or two of garlic), guacamole is often eaten with
tortilla chips or used as a side dish.
10- Tamales
Pockets of corn
dough are stuffed with either a sweet or savoury filling, wrapped in banana
leaves or cornhusks and steamed. Fillings vary from meats and cheeses to
fruits, vegetables, chillies and mole. Remember to discard the
wrapping before eating!
