Frequently asked questions
What dishes are typical of Mexican cuisine?
The staples are tacos, burritos, quesadillas, enchiladas, and nachos. There's always guacamole, salsas, and beans. Mexican food is built on corn, beans, tomatoes, chilli, and lime.
What's the difference between a taco and a burrito?
Size and the tortilla. A taco is a small corn tortilla simply folded over the filling; a burrito is a large flour tortilla wrapped tightly around it, often with rice and beans inside.
How spicy is Mexican food?
It's up to you. You dose the chillies to taste — from gentle freshness to a real fire. Most dishes work mild, and everyone can add heat at the table.
What should I cook for a party?
Go for tacos or nachos with guacamole and salsa — everyone builds their own and it's fun. Add quesadillas and a bowl of beans.
Is chili con carne actually Mexican?
Strictly speaking, no — it was born in Texas as a Tex-Mex classic. You'll rarely find it on a menu in Mexico, though that takes nothing away from how good it is.
