authentic mexican dish


This dish is called Mexican beefsteak because of the colors of the ingredients: white onion, red tomato and green chili. Since white, red and green are the colors of the Mexican National Flag, Mexican beefsteak is one of the most popular dishes in Mexico. by Witch Doctor 50 min 20 min prep
SERVES 4
For the meat
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4-1 1/2 lbs beef, thin cut (I use the thin cut steaks that are prepared for Milanesa)
1/2 cup water (or beef broth)
For Garnish
quartered lime
2 green chilies, chopped
cilantro
For the Chunky Fresh Tomato Salsa (Salsa Mexicana)
1 garlic clove, peeled
2 serrano chilies, stemmed and halved (or 1 jalapeno)
2 medium ripe tomatoes (about 1 pound total)
1/3 cup cilantro, roughly chopped (loosely packed)
1 large green onion, roots and wilted outer leaves removed, chopped into small pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (or light flavored vinegar) salt
Make the salsa without the lime juice.
Drop the garlic and chili pieces one at a time into a running food processor, letting each get finely chopped before adding the next.
Turn off the processor and remove the lid.
Cut 1 tomato in quarters and add it to the food processor, along with the cilantro. Pulse 4 to 6 times, until you have a coarse puree.
Scrape the mixture into a bowl. Cut the other tomato into ¼ inch pieces and add to the bowl, along with the green onion.
Taste and season with lime juice (or vinegar) and salt, usually a generous ½ teaspoons This salsa is best if eaten within an hour or two, but it will keep for a number of hours in the refrigerator.
Heat a wok (or a very large skillet) over medium high heat.
Drizzle in a little olive oil, then, in 2 batches, stir-fry the steak until lightly browned. Remove to a plate, leaving behind as much oil as possible.
Stir-fry the salsa until reduced – this can take up to 10 minutes.
Add about ½ cup water or beef broth, return the browned meat to the pan and bring to a boil.
Serve, passing around quartered limes and extra chopped green chili and cilantro

El tango guacamole



A bowl of w:guacamole beside a tomato and a cut avocado, as served by the El Tango Taqueria in Lakewood, Ohio, USA (part of the Greater Cleveland Metropolitan area). The photographer noted on Flickr that the "chef/owner brought over the avocados and tomato after he saw the camera" and that it was "[m]ade fresh to order".

Chile en nogada


English: Chiles en nogada is a dish from Mexican cuisine. The name comes from the Spanish word for the walnut tree, nogal. It consists of poblano chiles filled with "picadillo" (a mixture usually containing chopped or ground meat, aromatics, fruits, and spices) topped with a walnut-based cream sauce and pomegranate seeds, giving it the three colors of the Mexican flag (red, green, and white).

Mexican Food: Expand Your Knowledge and Cooking


Taco Bell comes to mind as a popular food chain that serves Mexican foods. You will find tacos, burritos, and quesadillas. People in Mexico usually do not eat big platters of tortilla chips in their everyday meals. Because of the food sold in the United States, it is not very healthy. The Mexican foods in America are not as rich in nutrients. It contains high fat, sodium, and calories. It also does not include as many fresh vegetables.
You are probably wondering, is Mexican food healthy for me. Authentic Mexican dishes are, because they carry many vitamins and are generally low in fat. America has fattened up the Mexican dishes making them not a good choice. If you want to go out to eat, try avoiding the major Mexican food chain restaurants. Find a restaurant that serves authentic dishes. It is healthier and will taste even better knowing you are giving your body good foods.
Fruits in Mexico
Fruits are grown throughout Mexico. The regions of Mexico differ, so depending on the location, the fruits will be different. Some of the fruits found in Mexico are grown on trees, others on the ground. Many have a tropical taste to them. Some of these fruits are native to other countries, but grown in Mexico.Although avocados are in many dishes with vegetables, they are a fruit. Avocados are native to Mexico and Central America. They grow on trees in tropical climates. Avocadoes are extremely good for your health. They are packed with many vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is a must-have fruit for people of all ages, including babies and children. Avocadoes can be mixed with other fruits such as in a salad, made into a dip, and much more!
Mexican soups
Cream of Jalapeo soup is perfect for a cold day. It includes ingredients such as avocados, tomatoes, garlic, and of course jalapenos. Even though it calls for jalapenos, the soup isn't extremely spicy. Another popular Mexican style soup is the Tortilla soup. There are different recipes for the soup, some making the soup creamy. Tortilla soup is a favorite, which is not a surprise. It contains many tasty ingredients. You will find the soup filled with different vegetables, chicken, and of course strips of corn tortillas.Vegetables are throughout most of the soups. Pozole soup calls for traditional corn called maiz blanco. It is a large kernelled corn found throughout Mexico. The corn is soaked in a special solution of lime. The soup also includes pork, chilies, onions, and a variety of spices and seasonings. This soup is eaten in both Mexico and also the Southwestern United States, especially the state of New Mexico.
Mexican chilies
Chilies are popular in many countries, but Mexico enjoys them the most. Chilies have been used for thousands of years as an ingredient in Mexican dishes. There are about 140 different types of chilies grown in Mexico. People tend to shy away from chilies because of their powerful heat when eaten, but not all chilies are unbearable to many. One pepper that is found in Mexican cuisine is the Fresno pepper. It looks like a smaller version of a sweet green pepper. You can find them in guacamole and also in dishes that include black beans. Chipotle peppers are another pepper found in Mexico. It is gaining popularity in the United States. It is actually Jalapeno peppers that are dried by being smoked. They add a smoky flavor to dishes. One other pepper is the Serrano. They are bright green in color with a very spicy hot taste. They are often used in salsa.
