Top 5: dishes for a hangover

The celebrations of September 15th are known for being long and intense. In fact, a remedy for the discomfort of the next day is often necessary. The good thing is that Mexican cuisine is filled with dishes ready to bring you back to life. So that you don't suffer anymore and can enjoy September 16th, we present our top 5: dishes for a hangover. Chilaquiles This may be the quintessential hangover dish in our country. There are reasons for this as it is spicy, easy to make, crunchy, and warm, everything you need when you feel bad for having overindulged. Remember that you control how spicy you want them, but getting a bit spicy and sweating helps a lot to alleviate the hangover. Torta ahogada The taco from Jalisco, that specialty with which they fight against hangovers, is called torta ahogada. Those pork carnitas in a crunchy bread, all drenched in spicy red sauce, are tempting the morning after shouting “¡Viva México!”. This is the original recipe from Guadalajara and as such, comes with a piece of advice: if you are going to use bolillo instead of the traditional viruta, try to toast it or use bread from the day before so that it is firmer. This way it can withstand the weight of the sauce and won’t fall apart. Seafood Soup This dish does not rely on spiciness to revive you but rather on the intensity of its seafood flavor. With a mix of shrimp, clams, and fish broth, this Veracruz recipe can even raise the dead; try it with a bit of potato and accompany it with a little white rice if you want a complete meal. Pozole The traditional red pozole can be found in any market or home; it is a dish as patriotic as chile en nogada. It may be the warmth of the broth, the abundance of ingredients like pork and vegetables, or even the chili, but it is a favorite among the masses when recovering after a good party. Barbacoa Who doesn’t crave a good taco of barbacoa with onion, cilantro, and salsa after a few too many beers? This homemade recipe comes very close to the true market flavor and is an ideal preparation for many people if you want to spend September 16th with family or friends.
