I love a good Mexican salad: shredded lettuce, beans, corn, taco-flavoured minced beef, cheese, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream and totopos.

Chicken fajitas! We have Mexican Mondays where the family and guests get to build their own meal and we chat and usually play board games or cards after dinner. It’s just so fun and relaxing and it’s flexible enough for everyone to have their desired level of spice

I love to make tacos when the grandkids visit. Mince with taco seasoning, beans, avocado, shredded lettuce and tomato, grated cheese…All set out so the kids can help themselves. Fairly ordinary as Mexican food goes but tasty, delicious and fun (messy too!)

So hard to pick just one but it’d have to be burritos. All that beany, cheesey deliciousness cocooned in a tortilla. Yum to infinity.

My favourite Mexican food is Sopa de fideo. It is a very comforting and nourishing soup, that comes together quite quickly and tastes amazing. Perfect if you feel under the weather and need a little pick me up.

I love all Mexican food. If I am in Mexico, I love to have chilaquiles for breakfast. Having leftovers from the day before with tortillas made into chips, chicken, onion, sauce and cheese. One of the best breakfasts around. Makes me think I should be sitting in Mexico rather than Michigan.

It’s gotta be a toss up between burritos and enchiladas! But I’d pick burritos I think…

When I was in Mexico my most memorable meal was (unidentified) fish ceviche served on tostadas as a half time snack during a soccer game with the local kids. It was citrusy and fresh with a lovely contrast between the soft fish and crunchy tostada. I now can’t go past ceviche whenever I see it on a menu

Tacos! We have Taco Tuesday. Everything is chopped up and served on a platter in the middle of the table so everyone can build their own. It’s a perfect meal especially after a busy evening of sports/classes because everything can be prepared in advance.

Shannon April 15, 2017 at 3:23 pm

It’s hard to choose a favourite, but probably tacos. I love that you put all the ingredients out and everyone gathers around to fill up their taco shell and make their own combinations. When I was a kid I loved how free it felt to decide what and how much of everything to put in.

Kristy Lade April 15, 2017 at 8:35 pm

Huitaloche – it’s a mushroom kind of fungus stuff, also called corn smut, that is an amazing weird and wonderful food. High in b 12 . You can’t get it in Australia I wouldn’t think, and even in the USA it’s only available canned. Ugly as all hell, but it’s great stuff! Good addition to tortilla wraps, tacos etc.

Kirsty April 20, 2017 at 9:11 pm

I love an authentic mexican mole. Especially after I was lucky enough to fulfill a dream and spent a few months living and traveling around Mexico in 2008… Yep, eating Mole and much more!

Mole is such a delicious sauce that is made from rich chocolate, nuts and the magic of lots of chillies and spices then served over meat….

I also love the story behind its existence… A bishop was said to have visited a nunnery and the nuns had nothing prepared to offer him to eat. The nuns are alleged to have popped all the ingredients they had into a pot, they served it over chicken and mole was born! ☺ YUM

A good Mexican chili! It is versatile, healthy (if you make it from scratch), vegetarian friendly, and generally just delicious! Can be served with so many different sides, like, cornbread, rice, sweet potato, corn chips. And don’t forget to top it off with coriander, and maybe a dash of greek yoghurt!

The best paella dish that I ever had was while backpacking in Mexico. My mate’s parents cook a mean Mexican Paella, served with plenty of local spices, tiger prawns, mussels, laughter, oodles of saffron, lots of sauces like guacamole a salsa, squeeze of lemon, complete with plenty of heated passion and round robin taste testing. The spontaneous flavour intensifies as time goes, allowing the flavour to sizzle. Enjoy with a glass of Chardonnay Casa Grande… heaven!
