Mexico is like everywhere else in the world with regional foods(seafood, mainland, etc). Rice and beans are daily in our diets as well as tortillas, serranos, jalapenos, and a salsa. We used to use bacon grease for tortilla making, but have cut out all pork. A must have is cilantro~I use it in daily.<br /><br />I think you would enjoy the food we eat based on this meal. Oh and as we live in the US...we are influenced here too.Humble wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823200562312609670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-85302624998935074032012-08-05T22:56:36.141+10:002012-08-05T22:56:36.141+10:00Oh yes...Sunnybrook is right about the lard. In fa...Oh yes...Sunnybrook is right about the lard. In fact it's sold in mini barrels in some American supermarkets. <br /><br />I make tortilla's on a regular basis for both Mexican and Indian dishes. Though not authentically Indian they're great for dipping in curries. I'd also recommend you putting in a wee bit of bicarbonate in your recipe if you want a bit fluffier tortillas - it creates both large and small bubbles in the flatbread :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861108457109878599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-84017758473643707032012-08-04T10:52:19.901+10:002012-08-04T10:52:19.901+10:00I looked into the kitchen of the Mexican restauran...I looked into the kitchen of the Mexican restaurant and saw huge containers of lard setting around. So you may need that if you want that special taste. I quit looking in kitchens after that.Sunnybrook Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18135224259672444423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9027191706980748713.post-77118109802553220262012-08-03T09:54:37.930+10:002012-08-03T09:54:37.930+10:00I have been wanting to make Gluten Free tortillas....I have been wanting to make Gluten Free tortillas... it's on the list! Yours look great. I've been to Mexico, and the food I ate there is nothing like the 'Mexican' food we have here, and certainly not like the indulgent Tex-Mex people here have come to expect. I am sure you can find food like that there, but the food I ate was simple but delicious. I don't recall big lashings of cheese, sour cream and meat like we'd eat it here! My favourite food there (and in Central America in general) was rice & beans... I've never been able to perfect it here.dixiebellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891290324250395382noreply@blogger.com
