Hello friends, my name is Monse Luna and I will tell you a little about the food we eat in Mexico, there is a very wide variety of dishes that we can consume every day, I will divide them into three groups to be of greater understanding.
The first group is the daily food that we usually consume every day, which we can make in our house daily, and that it is tradition to consume at the table by the Mexican families, the one that we take to the work and the schools to eat.
Usually when eating with our families is tradition, eat soup and a stew, accompanied by beans or rice, salsita and tortillas, the latter can not be missed. Of the stews that we can consume are "picadillo", some stew with chicken with tomato and vegetables, "tortitas capeadas" etc.
One of the most common ways to eat corn in Mexico is tortillas; A vegetable considered sacred by the Mexican people. The toritillas are prepared with this cereal, cooked with lime, this is ground and formed the mass, a small ball is taken between both hands, it begins to give of patches to extend it, until obtaining a circle that is deposited gently in the comal Or foil to the direct fire and there is cooked, on it are placed the most unexpected food preparations that give life to the classic taco, or, as an indispensable companion for any dish that is consumed in Mexico
Regardless of the social class to which it belongs, it is consumed daily throughout the country.
Mexicans can use tortillas in the form of plates, and sometimes even use them as spoons. It also serves to prepare many dishes, such as enchiladas, enmoladas, chilaquiles, golden tacos etc.
Her multiple and delicious ways of presenting her make her the queen of the diet of us Mexicans.
With the tortillas are formed these two great Mexican antojitos, that in addition to being super rich, are nutritious.
The quesadillas are conformed by a freshly made tortilla, usually a little thicker than usual heated in a comal,
Folded like a half moon, with the stew of your choice, they can carry cheese.
Regarding the tacos, you can practically make a taco with any food or stew that exists in the country, it is just a matter of having tortillas and rolling the food of your choice inside it.
But you can also find places in many places where you sell some classics, such as suadero, bistek, "al pastor", or sausage.
The tamal is a food prepared from corn masa, it is like a kind of salted cake, Stuffed chicken with sauce or mole, covered with corn leaves of banana plant, there are also sweet.
The second group are more elaborate typical dishes that are known for extraordinary taste and that usually we elaborate in special dates, like birthdays, holidays or simply to consent to some loved one.
The term mole (from Nahuatl molli or mulli) refers to several types of Mexican sauces made mainly from chilies and spices, and which are thickened with corn masa. The mole best known in Mexico is the "mole poblano", which for many people is the mole by itself and is often called "national dish" of Mexico. There are numerous varieties of mole..
Pozole (from Nahuatl pozolli, from tlapozonalli, 'boiled' or 'frothy', or cahíta posoli, 'baking corn') is a kind of broth made from corn kernels of a type commonly known as cacahuazintle, Which is added, according to the region, chicken or pork meat as a secondary ingredient. From this basic preparation there are variations throughout the Mexican territory. For example, the white pozole of Guerrero and the red of Sinaloa, Nayarit, Guanajuato and Jalisco. This dish can be accompanied with cream toast and other specialties of Mexican cuisine
Chile in Mexico has become almost a patriotic symbol. Mexicans not only use it in most of the dishes we consume, but also identify ourselves vitally, ontologically with him.
Chile is what defines us, but not in an exclusive way, compared to other diets and cuisines of the world. This condiment has a popular, nutritional and even cultural symbology.

Traditional Mexican sweets are a delight. There are where milk and sugar are used as the main base. Others in which the seeds abound, like the sesame. Fruits such as pumpkin, sweet potato, papaya, fig, coconut, and others like peanut, etc. These sweets can be prepared days in advance and cut them into small size snacks, place them on a table tray and share at a party. There is another group of traditional sweets, more industrialized, but over the years, they have become an important icon among our children, chocolates like Bocadín, the hair by rich, that is based on tamarind.
