What's the one thing that Ron Stoppable and his pet sidekick Rufus love? Nachos. Nachos in all forms and sizes and with any kind of sauce. Burritos come in a close second for Ron. Nachos and burritos are just two of the more widely known dishes in Mexican cuisine. There's a whole enchilada available for those who love Mexican food. Come to think of it, an enchilada is also a Mexican dish made of corn tortillas with a sauce made of chili and olives and onions.
Mexican cuisine is tasty and flavorful, a fusion of the best of Spanish and Mayan with a sprinkling of other small influences from the French, the Caribbean and indigenous Mexico. Most Mexican recipes incorporate native products such as corn, beans, avocado, chocolates, tomatoes, papayas, peppers and peanuts. A particular ingredient is used several ways in several dishes. Take corn for example, it is used in making corn tortillas that you can use in tacos and nachos. Both are different dishes but they use corn tortillas, beef and cheese too. Rice is very much a part of Mexican cuisine as well as vegetables.
Mexican food is colorful and pretty especially when arranged. Mexican dishes come in hues of green (because of the vegetables), reds (because of the peppers and chiles) and golden brown (from the meat and the corn). Mexican food can be classified into several groups: botanas (appetizers) and side dishes, drinks, main courses and desserts and sweets.
Recipes for Mexican dishes vary from the most simple, no-cook to the most complicated Mexican dishes. There are two major resources for Mexican recipes. The Internet is the first resource. It contains many databases for Mexican recipes that you can browse through and print. Cookbooks are the next resource that you can use. Local bookstores have specialized cookbooks according to cuisine and you can buy the book that you think you'll be able to use the most.
