Mexican Food Recipes

I am looking for an east traditional mexican dessert that I can make for my spanish class. Is there anything that I can make with minimal skill and equipment?

Bunuelos or Sopapillas.

For sopapillas just go buy yourself a few cans of biscuits (pillsbury etc.). Flatten each biscuit dough flat and then slice about 2-3 small holes in it to prevent bubbling. Next, deep fry em in some vegetable/peanut oil. Flip once to ensure even cooking.

Finally toss em around in a bowl of sugar and cinnamon!!

They taste amazing…soft, warm, and serve w/honey!!

Im meeting my in-laws and I want to buy them something from where I am from but I have no idea where to find something nice and classy… any thoughts? Thanx!

Puerta Al Sol in Coquitlam might be good, online says they have Mexican gifts. Perhaps you should check out online stores. Unfortunately Vancouver doesn’t have a very large Mexican population, so you might be out of luck in that area. You can try south of the border, Blaine and Bellingham have Mexican populations of under 10%, but Mount Vernon (quite a drive I know) is the closest city with a large Mexican population, over 25% and so there are probably several Mexican stores there.

Vancouver is a huge city, and has expatriate communities from all over. Ask any other Mexican-Canadians you know, maybe at restaurants, etc.

I know Mexico came up with the toco, but how is it traditional? I mean is there a lot of cheese in mexico or what??
Yes i meant Taco, Thanks for catching that mistake
☺

Hi, do you mean taco? ok, the corn tortilla is obviously traditional, as the corn is originally from Mexico, prehispanic cultures ate tortillas centuries ago.
Whatever you put inside of it…. well cheese is not part of a traditional taco, however nowadays is common to find it as an optional ingredient at taco restaurants (taquerias) but not shredded american or cheddar cheese, is melted Chihuahua or Manchego style cheese.

Also hard shells, sour cream, lettuce, chopped tomatoes are never ever on Mexican authentic tacos, all of those are texmex ingredients.

Come try the real ones, you’ll love them.

I’m bisexual but I’ve never come out to my family, which is a highly conservative and traditional Mexican family in terms of family/parental roles and relationships. I feel like if I were to tell them I’m bi, they’d automatically equate that with being a lesbian, yet they wouldn’t understand that I love both genders equally. Has anyone had a similar experience? The closest I can come to has been with "The L Word" with Carmen’s family, where the mother tells her that she’d rather have a "puta" than a "lesbiana" (meaning she’d rather have a whore/slut than a lesbian daughter). That phrase really rings close to home, because I feel like my family would become disillusioned and disappointed with me.

my g/f is half Mexican and half white-but more Mexican in terms of tradition.Her mother is full blooded mexican and she don’t mind one bit. My g/f told her mother and her dad,and no problems here.Girl they will either love you regardless or not.
You have to live your life for you,don’t do like i have for the past years and worried what people thought about me-just be yourself.
My g/f helped me come out to where i work and all,and nobody even cares.If they like u- that’s it they like u!

My Mexican friend is coming to visit me for a couple months and I want to cook him good, authentic, traditional Mexican meals while he is here!

What are some popular Mexican dishes, and how do you make them? (Please nothing *too* incredibly time-consuming or difficult.)
thanks

I would check out the Goya section in your grocery store- they have really good products that are used throughout mexico, and since many of the recipes call for a large variety of sometimes expensive spices, it may be best to buy a prepared base- like the Mole below. I have used it, it is as good as I get in some local restaurants.

Mole, the traditional Mexican sauce made from a blend of dried chiles, spices, nuts and seeds, is what gives this classic recipe its unique flavor and texture. Goya Mole Poblano, ready-to-use, allows you to prepare this Mexican classic in minutes while maintaining its authentic flavor. Serve up with yellow rice and enjoy!

1 jar (9 oz.) Goya Mole

3 cups water or low sodium chicken broth

1 – 3½ lb. chicken, cut in serving pieces

1 tsp. Goya Adobo with Pepper or to taste

2 tbsp. Goya Corn Oil

1 package (10 oz.) Goya Corn Tortillas, warmed

1 package (8 oz.) Goya Mexican Rice Mix prepared according to package directions

1 ( 16 oz) can Refried Pinto Beans prepared according to package directions

1. In sauce pan on low heat, combine Goya Mole and water or broth. Stir constantly until completely combined and sauce comes to a simmer. Remove from heat and keep warm.
2. Season chicken with Adobo. In large skillet on medium, heat oil. Brown chicken on both sides. Pour off any fat. Add mole and stir so chicken is completely covered by sauce. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered until chicken is cooked through, about 25 minutes. Stir occasionally, adding more water or broth if sauce gets too thick.
3. Serve in a deep platter with Prepared Mexican Rice, Refried Beans and warm Tortillas on the side.
