- Elote
This
street corn looks so delicious but truly only boils down to chili
powder, cheese, and lime, at home. This dish is a snack mainly
prepared with cotija recipe. It’s easy as pie to cook this food.
So, when you try this light yet tasty snack, enjoy even more.
- Tamales
This
dish is prepared with corn dough, wrapped in leaves, and then
steamed. Many thousands of years ago, this dish was prepared on
special occasions in Mexico. Moreover, a history of the Aztecs
written in the 16th century by Bernardino de SahagĂșn, a priest,
tells of tamales stuffed with fruit, honey, even bees. How
unpredictable?
- Huaraches
Traditional
huaraches are thick ovals of masa (like long-drawn-out taco shells)
about the size of flip-flops and topped with cheese, beans, your
favorite meat, crema, lettuce, and anything else they can hold. The
name itself, adorably, means “sandal” in Spanish. Well, no
Cinderella can resist from taking a bite of this dish.
- Mexican hot chocolate
Mexican
hot chocolate is served without milk, often, and is simply chocolate
foamed up with hot water. Chefs sometimes use a unique-looking
spinning foaming tool, called a molinillo that looks sort of like a
rustic ancestor of the whisk. So are you ready to try the best
Mexican food in the valley? Surely
you might be.
- Mole
Not
all moles employ chocolate. Mexico is known as the land of the seven
moles and only a few of those complex and delicious sauces use
chocolate. Among them a red (colorado) mole, a yellow mole, and a
green (verde) mole. So, which one you would try first?
- Tacos
The
word “taco” dates to the 18th century in Mexico, and referred to
the little charges miners used to excavate ore from mines. According
to some researches, tacos were pieces of paper that wrapped around
gunpowder and insert into the holes carved in the rock face. By the
end, of the 19th century, the term tacos de minero — miner’s
tacos — was seen in archives and dictionaries. Amazing, isn’t it?
