Hi, My boyfriend is from mexico, he hasnt been in the U.S for long and he misses his moms homeade cooking. he is from tamulipas. I wanted to cook a traditional mexican meal for him ( full meal like side dish, main food, dessert.) I was thinking Beef enchiladas w/ rice and i dont know wat for dessert. if anyone could help me and give me some great recipes i would appreciate it and give 10 points! 
well my husband is mexican also, and his mom cooks really good authentic mexican food…her food is so good..
well, heres a few good ones…
enchiladas [ chicken are better in my opinion ], tinga [its chicken, cabbage, onion & chipotles in adobe ], chile verde con puerco (green sauce with pork), chilaquiles (its terrific & so delicious), carne de res (beef stew/soup)..
mexican rice is so good; he’ll love that !! also frijoles (beans)..
for dessert, tres leches cake (so good), or flan

ENCHILADAS ARE OK, BUT I WOULD SUGGEST SOMETHING LIKE CARNE GUISADA OR A CHILE RELLENO. YOU CAN SERVE THESE WITH SPANISH RICE AND REFRIED BEANS. MAYBE EVEN SOME MOLE AND SERVE IT OVER WHITE RICE OR MENUDO. IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT HE LIKES. HERES THE MOST TRADITIONAL DESERT FOR MEXICANS.
FLAN
8 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup brown sugar
DIRECTIONS
Beat eggs slightly; add sugar and salt. Blend in milk and vanilla. Sift brown sugar into bottom of eight 5-ounce custard cups or a 1-1/2-quart baking dish. Pour custard mixture over sugar. Place in shallow baking pan of hot water. Bake at 325 degrees F for 30-40 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Chill overnight. Sprinkle with additional brown sugar before serving or unmold to serve

FYI i’ve never had spanish rice as a side dish when i actually eat in mexico, more in like texas, its not that authentic. But go for chicken enchiladas over beef, chile rellenos, flan, frijoles )pinto beans, regular rice, and corn tortillas.
