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
