Does anyone have an easy, authentic Mexican food recipe that they would be willing to share?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Easy Mexican Food Recipes


My son is a college freshman and is attempting to get some extra credit in Spanish. He can add 2 % to his grade if he makes and brings in something authentically Mexican. Translation help would also be appreciated. Thanks!

Genuine Mexican guacamole:

3-4 large avocados peeled and cubed, two medium ripe regular size tomatoes or 3-4 ripe pomadoros diced, 1-3 serrano chiles (depending on how hot you like it) diced, 2 tablespoones diced union, 2-3 tablespoons diced fresh cilantro, juice of one lime, salt if desired.

Mix all ingredients well- Do not mash up the avocados. Serve with tortilla chips or tostadas.

    Queso fundido

    3 ounces chorizo, sliced 1/4 inch thick
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1/2 to 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded, if desired, and finely chopped
    1/2 pound Oaxacan cheese, Chihuahua, mozzarella or Monterey Jack cheese, diced small
    1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

    Corn or flour tortillas, for serving.

    In a medium skillet or a flame-proof gratin dish over moderate-high heat, cook chorizo until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, leaving any rendered fat in pan.

    Stir in olive oil and jalapeño. Cook for 1 minute. Add cheese, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is fully melted, about 3 minutes. Garnish with cilantro and chorizo and serve hot from pan with tortillas for scooping up mixture.

    Tamales are traditional

    they are corn meal and savory (meat) or sweet (fruit) fillings cooked in corn husks
