Food and wine in Mexico, America, and Mexican food history

Fajitas

Beef steak should be sirloin, flank, or round. Pickled jalapeño peppers should be chopped and may be omitted if not desired.

Chimichangas

Serve with almond red sauce and jalapeño cream sauce. Prepare the sauces and reserve while cooking chimichangas. Traditional Mexican garnish such as shredded lettuce and cheese, sour cream, guacamole also go well with chimichangas.

Mexican breakfast

How you define a traditional Mexican breakfast depends on how far back in history you want to look. Aztecs thought themselves fortunate to have the first meal of the day be a nice grilled Iguana. A Mayan may well have regarded a raw grasshopper as a delicious fat-rich meal in the morning. While Mexican breakfast from the past few centuries may be a little more recognizable to the gringo eye, it will still have a flavor and style distinctive of this colorful land.
