There is no cuisine in the world more vibrant and distinct than Mexican cuisine. Its essence can truly be encapsulated in three fundamental ingredients: corn, legumes, and peppers. These ingredients form the basis of well-known dishes such as tacos, quesadillas, gorditas, and chimichangas. Absolutely mouthwatering! But that's not all. We invite you on a culinary journey through Mexico—
a country known for its immense diversity, especially when it comes to taste.
The uniqueness of dishes served in Mexico was influenced by the combination of culinary traditions of the indigenous population with the influences of European conquistadors (mainly from Spain and Portugal). The remnants of the clash of different cultures have resulted in a cuisine full of original flavor combinations and aromas. Currently, recipes for dishes from Mexico are the most eagerly replicated worldwide, mainly due to the ease of preparing the dishes and the availability of high-quality food products such as lime juice, spicy salsa sauces, or various varieties of small hot peppers.
The cornerstone of Mexican cuisine is the "Inca gold," namely corn. For centuries, this ingredient has been used to make characteristic tortillas, which are then used to prepare hearty dishes filled mostly with various fillings based on vegetables and meats. The dough works well both warm and cold, and it tastes great with the addition of thick sour cream and herbs. Tortillas can also be treated as regular bread, serving as an interesting alternative to traditional loaves in many countries.
In Mexican cuisine, various types of sauces made from fresh ingredients are also very common. Globally popular avocado guacamole or salsa made from finely chopped tomatoes with herbs are just a few examples. Let's not forget about various spicy sauces based on chili peppers, which are embraced not only by daring enthusiasts of bold flavors but by many who appreciate the kick of heat.
