Traditional Mexican Cuisine
Enchiladas are a well-known traditional Mexican dish enjoyed all over. A little different to their original incarnation, enchiladas are now most commonly corn or flour tortillas filled with meat, vegetables, beans, or seafood, topped with cheese and chilli sauce, and baked. These make the perfect Mexican breakfast!
Chilaquiles to Mexicans are like bacon and eggs to Aussies. Made of fried corn tortillas cut into quarters and topped with red or green salsa, scrambled or fried eggs, chicken, cheese and cream, enjoyed as a classic breakfast dish and in true Mexican fashion, often come with refried beans.
Tamales – First created for the Aztec, Mayan and Inca tribes who needed fueling up before going into battle, Tamales are pockets of corn dough stuffed with either sweet or savoury fillings then wrapped in banana leaves or corn husks and steamed. Fillings can include anything from meats, vegetables, mole, cheeses or even fruits.
Meaning ‘toasted’, Tostadas are just that! Crispy, toasty corn tortillas fried in hot oil until super-crunchy. These golden disks are topped with various toppings like refried beans, cheese, seafood or pulled meat.
