Choose only very fresh tortillas. If they are not soft and pliable, they are not fresh. You do not want dried out, old tortillas. Pick up the package and toss lightly in your hand, bend them back and forth. If they bend easily, they are fresher than those that crack and break.
Better yet, get a tortilla press and make your own. Just be sure to use fresh flour.

What Kinds Of Mexican Cakes Are There?
Like almost everywhere else in the world, Mexico has its fair share of sweet goodies on offer. If you think Mexican food is all about tacos and burritos, you are mistaken, because their candies, chocolates, sweet drinks, and Mexican cake recipes are wonderful too! One example of a popular Mexican cake is the Mexican Chocolate Pound Cake. This cake features Mexican chocolate and cinnamon, is easy to make and tastes like a slice of heaven! Mexican Kajeta Chocolate Cake is also gorgeous if you want to tantalize your taste buds.
Tres Leches Cake is also very good and is lighter than a lot of other Mexican cakes. In English, it translates to “three milks cake” and is a butter cake, which is soaked with three types of milk – whole milk, evaporated milk, and condensed milk. The cake does not normally include butter in the milk, so it has a lot of air bubbles.
The top of this cake might feature fresh fruit, such as raspberries or peach slices, to add to the taste and is common throughout Latin America. The origin is thought to be between Mexico and Nicaragua but is not known for sure. Tres Leches cakes are popular at celebrations and parties, or even at weddings as well as the Mexican wedding cake.
Another interesting fact about Mexican cake is that Mexicans love spice. Not only are spices widely used in savory Mexican cuisine but they often appear in sweet Mexican chocolate cake recipes too. Jalapeos and chilies are often added to chocolate cakes. It might sound strange but it does taste wonderful. Chili gives a truly unique flavor to chocolate and it does go very well. The Mayas actually combined cocoa and chilies for many years. Chocolate Jalapeo Cake is an example of a Mexican cake where finely chopped jalapeos are used to give the chili

taste and a slight kick.
Another popular cake that is made in Mexico is called Rosca. You will have to wait until the holiday season to find it though because it is a cake that is made around December until February. It is made into a circle shape that represents the crown of the three kings. The cake is flavored with lemon and orange zest and also contains almonds.
This cake is often topped with fruits. Inside is a miniature model of the baby Jesus. Three Kings Day celebrations usually feature this Mexican cake and whoever gets the baby Jesus in their slice has to provide the cake for the next celebration. You can buy Rosca from the local bakery or have a go at making it yourself at home.
If you have a love with crepes, why not try them Mexican-style? The crepes are topped with Cajeta, which is Mexico’s version of caramel sauce. The crepes are also topped with toasted pecans. Other toppings can be added if desired.
If you are having a party, try your hand at making a cake. You might want to make a Mexican cake with tropical fruits or a rich cake with cinnamon and other tasty spices. Whichever type of cakes you like, there will be a Mexican equivalent. Perhaps you would like to get some Mexican cocoa and use it in your Mexican cake recipe to give a truly authentic flavor. It is sure to disappear quickly once your guests find out how mouthwateringly delicious it is!

Mexico is a pretty big country, like the United States, and it offers many different kinds of foods. Each area of the country has a different style of food and its own regional specialties. There are dishes which are very popular in some areas of Mexico but relatively unfamiliar in other areas of the country.
In fact, some of the dishes, which people in the US think of as Mexican, are largely unknown in Mexico itself! For example, let us take chimichangas and nachos. Chimichangas were actually invented in the southwestern United States; and nachos which did originate in Mexico but are found more plentifully in other countries than in Mexico itself. The things, which you think you know about Mexican food, may not be representative of the reality of this cuisine, as it exists in the country.
The coastal regions of Mexico have their own regional Mexican recipes, which as you would expect, feature fish and other seafood. Veracruz in particular is known for its fish dishes, especially those which are “Veracruzana” (in the Veracruz style), especially those served with a spicy tomato sauce containing olives and capers – – having a clear influence from Spain.
The state of Oaxaca is known for mole. These often-spicy sauces are made from a variety of ingredients including chocolate, chilies, pumpkin seeds, and others. They have a fusion of different flavors and vegetable, meat and cheese mole dishes are all quite common.
There is a lot of obvious Spanish influence on the local dishes served in the north of Mexico and beef dishes especially are more common here than in the rest of Mexico. This is primarily because of the Spanish colony positioning on either side of the Rio Grande and the colonists’ demand for beef. This is the part of the country where you will find the famous carne asada, which is also a very popular dish in Texas and the American southwest.
In Central Mexico, you will find dishes and culinary influences from neighboring regions of the country, but Central Mexico is also the home of some distinctive Mexican recipes, which are the region’s own. These include the spicy goat soup birria, the hominy and pork soup pozole and the tripe soup known as menudo. It is the region’s soups and stews, which are the most famous of its dishes, but central Mexico is also the home of carnitas, a fried pork dish that is often served on tacos and tortas.
There are also Mexican recipes, which are popular, nationwide, such as chiles en nogada, a stuffed poblano dish topped with a walnut cream sauce and pomegranate seeds (the three colors of the ingredients suggest the colors of the Mexican flag). Tacos are another Mexican food, which you will find all over the country, though there is a great regional variation in terms of which ingredients are used to prepare them.
Mexico contains a great many different climates and different indigenous cultures, all with a greater or lesser degree of influence from Spanish cuisine, as well as from other groups of immigrants, all of whom have brought their own culinary influences. Mexican cuisine offers a lot to explore, going well beyond the familiar tacos and burritos; try a few regional Mexican recipes for something different and exciting at your table.
