Introduction
When we think of Mexican cooking, the first thing that springs to mind must be sunshine and chilies! Vibrant and colorful—in both presentation and tastes—Mexican cooking knows no formality or constraint. It’s about having fun with food, enjoying the flavors—throwing a party!
Central to Mexican cooking is the chili. Among the most important crops in the country, this power-packed fruit features in many of Mexico’s most famous food exports, beginning with the ubiquitous Carne con Chili that we all love. And the wonderful thing about using chili in our cooking is that we don’t have to make our meals as spicy as the Mexicans do. Just go in gently and you can soon begin to spice up your meats a little more if you find you are getting used to the levels of heat. There’s no need to take the roof off your mouth if you are not ready for it. But once you are attuned to the chili flavor, I can promise you, it’s addictive.
Chili works with all kinds of meat but beef is a Mexican favorite, so there are lots of beef dishes here. But you’ll also find chicken and pork, both very popular broiled, sautéed or in a rich stew. Of course, with the sunshine playing such an important role the barbecue won’t be far away, and many of these dishes are ideal for outdoor treatment, making them quick and easy for you to cook either al fresco or under your oven broiler.
Rice is, of course, the main accompaniment of choice and that makes meals even easier to put together as rice is simple to cook. However, if you want a change, try some quinoa, a South American grain gaining in popularity because of its delicious nutty taste. Similar to couscous, it goes very well with Mexican dishes.
It wouldn’t be Mexican without at least some tortillas, and in this collection, we have included both soft tortillas—ideal for wrapping up your spicy main courses—as well as crispy taco shells. Experiment with the various kinds and see which ones you like best. You will be spoilt
