It's no secret: Mexicans love to eat.
Our passion for food is so great that in 2010, UNESCO declared Mexican cuisine a Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
One of the reasons for this great recognition is due to its great diversity and the richness of its ingredients.
However, within this vast array of culinary options, Mexicans have a slight weakness for the well-known "T Diet".
Learn more about the exquisite diet that Mexicans enjoy daily:
Tacos
What would our lives be without the tortilla? This soft and light corn sheet can turn the blandest stew into a great meal. It may seem like a very simple dish, but its preparation process requires a high level of familiarity with the flavors of Mexican cuisine. As for how to eat them, there's no denying it: years of experience are needed to bite into a taco without spilling its contents.Recommended recipe: Here you will find the best recipes to prepare delicious tacos.
Tostadas
We have to admit that tostadas have the same main ingredient as tacos; however, as Mexicans, we know there is a big difference between a freshly made tortilla and a tostada. The mix of flavors tends to be very similar to that of tacos, but tostadas require greater skills to eat them without turning the dish into a mess.Tinga tastes better on tostadas. Have you tried them?
Tamales
Once again, we have our faithful and beloved corn present in Mexican cuisine. This dish, a favorite of Mexicans from Yucatán to Baja California, perfectly combines the softness of corn dough with the flavors of its stews. Personally, what I love most about tamales is that their individual wrapping, whether corn husk or banana leaf, keeps them warm until the moment you eat them.https://www.instagram.com/p/BKwr1S-DcDD/ Recommended recipe: Get ready for the Christmas season with these green tamales.
Burgers
Although the type of bread varies slightly depending on the region of the country, burgers are one of the favorite dishes of Mexicans. From the traditional egg or avocado sandwich with ham to the more exotic ones, like the tamale sandwich, this specialty of urban Mexican cuisine guarantees a very hearty meal with great flavor.Recommended recipe: This recipe is a great option for fans of vegetarian burgers.
Tlacoyos
The T Diet would not be complete without the exquisite tlacoyos. This Mexican snack is a hybrid between a tortilla, a corn gordita, and a sope. Although generally this dish is more common in the central or southern parts of the country, its popularity has been spreading throughout the republic. What is the best part about tlacoyos? Definitely seeing how they are kneaded and prepared right before your eyes, and getting them freshly made is an experience that all Mexicans love.Recommended recipe: Learn how to cook this delicious Mexican snack from scratch.
