Authentic Mexican Recipes

Mexican cuisine is known for its bold flavors, colorful presentation, and the use of a wide array of spices and ingredients. The mainstay of Mexican food is typically beans, rice and corn. Much of the corn is used to make masa, a dough that is used for tamales, tortillas, gorditas, and many other corn-based foods. Squashes and sweet and hot peppers also play important roles in the vital cuisine of Mexico.

Spices used are chili powder, cumin, oregano, cilantro, epazote, cinnamon, and cocoa which is used in mole. Chipotle, a smoke-dried jalapeño chili, garlic and onions are also common in Mexican cuisine.
