Mexican Cuisine Recipes

Yes, "Mexican food" can be shorthand for a platter heaped with <a href="/recipes/mexico/beans/refried/">refried beans</a>, cheesy <a href="/recipes/mexico/enchiladas/">enchiladas</a> and <a href="/search/?searchTerm=chile%20rellenos">chile rellenos</a>. But the cuisine of our neighbors to the south is much more nuanced than your local taco joint might have you believe. Authentic Mexican recipes tell another story, from the complex moles (up to 30 ingredients!) of Puebla to the rich tomato sauces of Veracruz to the rich, cinnamon-laced chocolate of Oaxaca, authentic Mexican cuisine varies widely by region and incorporates a staggering amount of ingredients and spice in sophisticated ways. And there are lots of delicious Mexican <a href="/recipes/mexico/desserts/">dessert</a> recipes: Who wouldn't want to end dinner with a piping hot churro filled with rich Mexican chocolate?

Corn Tortillas

From Food & Wine

The secret to Hot Bread Kitchen's richly flavorful tortillas is the masa made from freshly ground blue or white corn. Fresh masa is becoming increasingly available in cities with large Mexican populations, but masa harina, a dry corn flour, works well in the recipe below. Maseca is the most commonly available brand, but Bob's Red Mill (sold at health-food stores and some supermarkets, or at bobsredmill.com) has better flavor.
