Top 5: revolutionary dishes

The holiday weekend does us good, and we can take advantage of our free time to practice some recipes to celebrate the upcoming Thursday, November 20, Revolution Day. The dishes we present today are typical Mexican dishes, and most were born or became famous during the revolutionary period. Here is our top 5: revolutionary dishes. Mole poblano. Mole has always been very beloved among Mexicans, but it wasn't until the revolution that this dish truly gained notoriety in the country. This recipe was meant to pay tribute and homage to the food of the people. In any case, today we leave you this classic recipe so you can prepare this revolutionary dish at home. Burritos. There are several legends about how the burrito was born; some say it's a dish from Guanajuato, but the most told story is that it came from a vendor who fed the armies of the north with these preparations. The point is that he traveled accompanied by his faithful donkey, which carried rolled tortillas filled with meat, rice, and beans. Meatballs. The revolutionaries had no way or place to cook overly elaborate dishes, so they had to cook with what was available. In the case of this famous dish, it was only necessary to get meat and prepare a tomato and chipotle broth; thus, it became natural to eat meatballs with their respective tortillas to maintain strength during battles. Stew tacos. Following the previous dish, tacos gained notoriety by becoming the people's dish due to their easy preparation and even simpler way of eating. Being able to consume them with your hands made them ideal for those traveling through Mexico and fundamentally relying on corn. Enchiladas. It is said that the revolutionary general Pancho Villa was very fond of this dish. He ordered it at his dinners when he was governor of Chihuahua and also when he traveled around the country. Back then, turkey meat was commonly used, although today it is much more common to find green or red enchiladas, filled with chicken or simply cheese.
