A Look At Regional Mexican Cuisine

There is more to Mexican cuisine than what you can experience in a restaurant. Each area of Mexico has its own unique flavors and specialties for you to enjoy. Mexico is divided into three major regions… the North, the Central, and the South. Smaller regions within each large area also have their own special recipes.

The North is cattle country. Both dairy and beef cows are raised in this arid, rugged part of Mexico. Wheat is also grown, so many recipes will use flour, such as tortillas. Tortillas are made fresh every day and are often used to hold spreads and creamy fillings. The local dairies produce fresh cheeses that are enjoyed in many ways.

Northern cuisine is much simpler than in other areas of Mexico. They also use less spice. Many dishes are prepared over an open flame, adding its own flavor. Beef stews, enchiladas, and beans are common foods in the north. Chilies such as Anaheims are popular in this region for their mildness and subtle heat. Pico de gallo, a salsa made of onions, tomatoes and chiles, is served with most meals.

Central Mexico is fertile and green. The Spanish influence is keenly felt here and you find many dishes using Spanish foods like pork, sugar, almonds, rice, and dairy products. Fresh markets sell sweet potatoes, avocadoes, chilies and other foods raised locally. Dishes like picadillo, which is a combination of almonds, raisins, and meat, are common fillings for tortillas and tacos. In the city of Veracruz, seafood reigns supreme. The foods in this area are highly influenced by French, African, and Spanish cuisine.

In southern Mexico, you may find yourself wandering the Yucatan Peninsula. Oaxaca is part of this region. This area is known for its rugged terrain and isolated towns. Due to this isolation, Oaxaca enjoys a reputation for truly authentic Mexican cuisine. The culinary customs of centuries past are intact here. One of the most delicious local snacks is a dish of grilled chilies smothered in melted local cheese. Travelers from all over the world visit here to enjoy the true taste of Mexico.

Mexico is a terrific place to take a culinary tour. Each region and even cities within each region offer you new taste sensations that even the most dedicated foodie will enjoy. Traveling through Mexico will expand your pal
1000
ate to flavors you only dreamed of.

Top your meal off with a mexican dessert. These desserts are a wonderful treat on their own. Choose from a creamy flan to Mexican Wedding cookies… every dessert is delicious. Take bunuelos, for instance. This holiday dessert is a crisp pastry covered in sugar and cinnamon. It is the perfect accompaniment to coffee or hot chocolate.

Mexican cuisine is a wonderful way to explore the culture, beauty and history of Mexico. Try the different recipes from the various regions. They will help you understand the diversity of this marvelous country. Do not forget to top off each meal with a delicious dessert. There are specialties that are only made at certain times of the year and common ones to enjoy anytime. Let Mexican cuisine show you a whole new world.

Six Mistakes You Are Making On Your Diet Plan

How do I know you are making these fat loss mistakes? Because I did! Here are some great tips for getting past these hurdles on your way to a lean, sexy body.

YOU ARE TRYING TO DO TOO MUCH TOO SOON

Trying to go from Sedentary Slob to Super Dieter on a Monday morning? Not so smart. It is a great way to ensure you will be back to the couch by mid-day Wednesday. You can’t expect to undo years worth of damage overnight.

If you typically eat three meals per day, start slowly by adding a snack – either in the morning or the afternoon, then work your way to six small meals every 2-3 hours. This approach to fat loss is called kaizen, a Japanese philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement throughout all aspects of life. Making a small change once a day or once a week leads to a constant state of improvement.

YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE QUICK FIX

I was convinced I had a Loch Ness Monster in my colon and that was making me fat! But the colon cleanser I purchased only left me with a very sore butt, some leafy-looking things in the toilet and not a single pound lost.

Now I was convinced that I needed a super-duper-ultra fat burner – one that would melt away the fat while I sat on my butt doing nothing!

After thousands of dollars and lots of false hope, I realized that the only way I was going to achieve the lean body that I desired was to come up with a solid nutrition and exercise plan, and to add supplements that were backed by solid science.

YOU ARE LETTING OTHERS KNOCK YOU OFF-TRACK

My family is full of enablers – they mean well, but they were not sensitive to the fact that I was serious about staying on track with my weight loss diet. “C’mon a little bit won’t hurt” or “you can diet tomorrow” was all it took to convince me to eat. Within 30 minutes I had eaten myself stupid and undone all of the positive progress that I had spent the past week achieving.

Let those around you know how important your fat loss efforts are and what it means to both you, and them, that you stay on track.

YOU ARE NOT GETTING BACK “ON THE WAGON” IMMEDIATELY AFTER FALLING OFF

I would usually fall off my diet towar
1000
d the end of any given week. It was at that point that I rationalized that, since I was “off the wagon” I would wait until Monday to get started again!

This probably won’t come as a big shock, but science now has proven that weekends can wreak havoc on your waistline. That was the conclusion of Washington University researchers, who found that even people on strict diet and exercise programs lose weight more slowly than expected because they eat more on weekends.

The verdict: People do not need a holiday as an excuse to eat more; they tend to do it every weekend because human lifestyle patterns can be very different.

There were two key takeaways for me from this:

1.The best time to get back “on the wagon” was at your next meal – do not wait until you’ve done more damage.
2. Do not let the weekends be different than any other day – stick with your plan whether it is a Saturday or a Wednesday

YOU ARE TRYING TO BE PERFECT EVERY DAY

Life is not perfect – and your diet plan shouldn’t be either. You can’t expect yourself to follow your program to the letter every second of every day until you reach your goal. If you do, you will ultimately fail. That is why you need to apply the 90/10 rule to your nutrition and exercise.

The 90/10 rule is very simple – if you are on your program 90% of the time, then you will not be hurt by the 10% of the time you are not. Your weight loss diet should include a minimum of 5 meals per day, with 6 meals being ideal. Following the 90/10 rule with 6 meals a day (or 42 meals a week) means that you have 4 meals a week where you can go off your program without halting progress, as long as those meals are reasonable.

Same rules apply to exercise. Let’s say your schedule permits you to work out 4 days per week. So in a month, you have 16 workouts – and following the 90/10 rule, you can miss 1 or 2 workouts without derailing yourself. However, you should save your “skips” for times when you really need to skip – like a poor night’s sleep, illness, or hectic travel schedule.

YOU ARE NOT SETTING REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

It took you your entire life to get to this point, and you expect to reverse all of the damage in 3 weeks? That is what a lot of diet products would like you to believe.

You absolutely MUST set goals, but they MUST be realistic. What is realistic? one to two pounds of fat per week is a reasonable goal. The more you have to lose, the higher you can set your weekly expectations. But if you are approaching double-digits with your expectations, you will ultimately fail.

burrito – YouTube – MI BURRITO SABANERO – FELIZ NATAL

General,


In Mexico, it is common to cook a piece of beef or pork over a low heat to break down the fibers and make it as tender as possible. Using a crock pot is an easy way to use this slow cooking method to your advantage. You can set up the meal before you leave for the day and come home to a delicious Mexican meal. Replicating the slow cooking done in Mexico lets you recreate all the great flavors you have come to expect from authentic Mexican recipes, yet using a crock pot lets you use the convenience available today so you don’t have to tend the recipe all day long.

Slow cooked dishes can be served with refried beans, Mexican rice or a salad made of raw fruit or vegetables. You could even put the meat and sauce into a tortilla if you like. You could take the meat in this recipe and shred it instead of slicing it if you wish. Recipes from the crock pot can be served any number of ways.

This recipe is not spicy, but it is good to remember that not all Mexican recipes are. If you prefer it to be spicy, simply add in a cayenne or habanero pepper into the pot when you start it up. Remember that seasonings tend to become muted as they blend in the crock pot, so you may need to adjust your spices before serving. You can even switch out vegetables and use what you have on hand. Potatoes, squash and other vegetables would work just as well. Likewise, you could trade out the beef for a pork roast or some chicken or rabbit. Rabbit is a traditional meat that has been eaten in Mexico for generations and it benefits from the moist, slow cooking in the crock pot.

Recipe for Crock Pot Mexican Flank Steak

What You Need

  • 2-1/2 pounds beef flank steak or other cut of beef
  • 6 canned or fresh tomatillos
  • 14 ounce can whole baby corn on the cob, drained
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced finely
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 14 ounce can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

How to Make It

Trim your steak or cut of beef to remove any fat you can see. Remove the stem and husk from your tomatillos if they are fresh. Chop them up. Drain the baby corn and place it, the chopped onion, and minced garlic on the bottom of a 3 quart crock pot. Place the beef and tomatillos on top. Season with salt, black pepper, oregano, and cilantro. Pour the diced tomatoes over the top.

Place the lid on the crock pot and set the heat on low. Cook for 6 to 7 hours or until the beef is tender.

When the dish is done, remove the beef and slice it crosswise against the grain until you have strips. Adjust your seasonings to taste and serve vegetables and sauce with the beef.

Mexican recipes are enjoyed by all ages. Make dinner fun by making some new main dishes and Mexican dessert recipes to spice up the dinner table. Your family will enjoy the new flavors and recipes.
