The peculiarity of Mexican cuisine

Preparing hot Mexican sauces
  1. Traditional Mexican dishes always include a lot of spices, herbs, and seasonings. The most spicy ingredient is hot chili pepper, which Ukrainians are not used to eating in large quantities.
  2. Meat should always be juicy. The key to this is sauces – salsa, salts, pepian, guacamole, and many others.
  3. The most versatile is guacamole.

It contains:

  • chili pepper
  • cilantro
  • green onions
  • lime juice

⠀Analogues of burritos

  • Quesadilla – a tortilla is filled with a filling, folded in half, and cut into three or four pieces. This dish looks like a closed pizza or toast.
  • Enchiladas – a wrapped tortilla. Unlike burritos, rolled enchiladas are usually fried in a pan or baked in the oven.
  • Nachos are corn tortilla chips. They are most often served with salsa or guacamole.
