Mexico is a delight for food lovers. Mexican cuisine has a lot of influences from the ancient civilization of the Mayas and Aztecs to the modern European culture. Mexican food uses a lot of chilies, sauces, and herbs that add depth to the taste of the dishes. UNESCO had recognized Mexican food as an intangible cultural heritage in 2010. Here are some must-try dishes.

#1
Elote

You will find a vendor selling elote or corn on the cob in almost every street corner of Mexico. The sweet and juicy corn kernels are boiled properly and then roasted over an open grill to give them a nice texture. Then, they are coated generously with lime, salt, butter, chili powder, cheese, mayonnaise and served in a cup or on a stick.

#2
Tacos

Tacos are one of the most popular Mexican dishes around the world. The crispy tortilla shell is made with corn and limestone and served with different fillings. Carne Asada tacos are a popular taco dish in Mexico in which the taco shell is stuffed with thinly-sliced grilled chicken meat. The meat is marinated with lime, cumin, and other Mexican spices before being grilled.

#3
Burritos

Burritos are another popular Mexican dish that is wholesome and keeps you full for a longer time. The dish was invented in 1910 by a street vendor named Juan Méndez in Chihuahua, Mexico. Burritos are basically cylindrical rolls made of a flour tortilla with different fillings. A burrito tastes best with cheese, eggs, potatoes, and fried beans. You can also try a machaca burrito.

#4
Chicken quesadillas

Mexican cuisine is incomplete without the delicious quesadillas that are made with flour or corn tortillas folded in half. Quesadilla means cheese tortilla and it originated in northern and central Mexico in the 16th century. The folded tortilla shells are stuffed with ingredients like cheese, veggies, and chicken and grilled or deep-fried to perfection. They are the perfect snack and a delicious mini-meal.

#5
Guacamole

Guacamole is a traditional Mexican dip that is best enjoyed with tortillas, potato chips, or even Mexican rice. This creamy dip is completely vegetarian and prepared with healthy ingredients like mashed avocados, onions, tomatoes, lemon juice, and chili peppers. This traditional dip dates back to the 1500s when the Aztecs created this green creamy spread using avocados and other spices.
