Our gastronomy is wide and very vast, and that is why it is recognized and imitated worldwide. No matter where you go, you will always find a Mexican restaurant that features some of the dishes on our list. These 5 are some Aztec specialties served abroad, of which there are thousands of versions around the world.
Caesar Salad
Many do not know that this famous salad was invented in Tijuana and has nothing to do with Roman Caesars, but rather with a Mexican cook named Caesar who created the dressing for his salad with the ingredients he had available in the kitchen. It is undoubtedly an international dish that is even served in Italian restaurants, which not many know are Mexican.
Tacos
As it could not be otherwise, the crown jewel, the king of Mexican street food, is sold in restaurants, stalls, food trucks, and other establishments around the world. Now, although the tortilla and filling format is usually always the same, the ingredients used vary since you won't find tacos al pastor and suadero everywhere. Rather, there are different vegetarian tacos and other original products around the world.
Burrito
Many include this dish in the Tex-Mex category, but the reality is that it is a 100% northern specialty from Nuevo León. Now, its push into the world did occur thanks to the preference of American customers and the millions of Mexicans living in the United States. It is undoubtedly one of our most diverse and filling dishes, which foreigners love.
Tamales
At least one dish from our pre-Hispanic culture had to make it onto this list. Although they are certainly not as famous as tacos or burritos, tamales are gaining ground in restaurants around the world as a artisanal and delicious dish that you can make anywhere on the planet. There have been several versions of these, as there are now not only green or red ones but also blackberry with cheese, fruit, etc.
Guacamole
Any game seen in the United States or Canada is not complete without the richest dip there is: guacamole. The combination of avocado with onion, chili, cilantro, lime, and salt has spread all over the world and is a favorite for snacking at gatherings and parties for thousands of people. We can proudly say it is 100% Mexican and is gaining ground over less flavorful accompaniments.
