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.
Fantastic, I’m on a gluten free diet, and I love spicy black beans with Tacos!
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.
We love chicken fajitas and anything with homemade guacamole
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
Hmmm, nachos! I love corn chips and cheese a little too much, plus all of the other delicious toppings you can add, & so good for sharing!
I love nachos. So much fun to share with the family and a great way to add lots of good things into the meal!
Chicken Enchiladas with Tomato Salsa. Packed with flavour (any leftovers taste great the next day). We love to make them together as a family. Delicious!!!
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.
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.
The thing I love best about Mexican food is the way its so fun to eat with friends and family. Who doesn’t love crunchy tacos or cheesy nachos when they’re catching up with those we love most!?
I can’t resist veggie burritos, with lots of rice, beans, guac, spicy salsa and all the toppings. Any meal, any day!
My favourite is refried bean salad, warmed beans piled with capsicum, chilies, coriander, avocado, salsa, smothered in lime and crispy tortilla chips. Fast, healthy and delicious!
Our kids enjoy a cooking adventure, assembling their favourite flavoursome Mexican lasagna. Easy to control the spiceiness, this hearty meal is even more delicious reheated.
My favourite Mexican food is slow cooked beef tacos with beans, lime juice and lettuce. Yummy!
Spicy chicken tortillas with heapings of chili salsa……. spicy, hot, mouthwatering and mmmmm. Easy to make and easy to eat.
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.
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
My fresh homemade guacamole with blended avocados, lime juice, minced chilli, garlic and spring onions is absolutely delicious every time. Served with chopped coriander and dipped in to with crunchy oven baked pita chips, this Mexican favourite is a true winner!
Taco-tillas. I eat tacos over a tortilla so when all the fillings fall out…BOOM…a taco-tilla ??✨
Nachos plain and some times with a dip-yum
Beef tacos,soft or hard shell and salad in side,yummy
Real Mexican Corn Chips – it was such a revelation when I tried them for the first time. They are SO much better than the ones from the supermarket.
Burritos; They’re such a neat, customisable and delectable package!
I love homemade nachos, crispy corn chips sprinkled with freshly shredded cheddar, tomato salsa with a touch of chili, a dollop of sour cream and homemade guacamole (avocado, red onion, touch of lemon juice, salt & pepper. Literally the perfect home style night at the movies!
Burrito bowls I love creating different versions and they are absolutely delicious.
Salsa, cheese and tomato
Olives, onion and jalapeños
And don’t forget the tasty chilli meat
Nacho’s are the best Mexican treat
I love them because I can stack them high
And eat them on my lap on a lazy Friday night
I’m a sucker for burritos and tortillas. Honestly just love the iconic black beans in Mexican food.
I love Mexican food, I would love to try my hand at cooking some at home, I reckon Mexico would be an amazing place to travel to, especially away from border towns, I would want to go further inland to the real Mexico, that’s how I imagine it is, beautiful!!!!!!
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!
I love spicy black bean nachos with plenty of cheese, salsa and guacamole and a good squeeze of lime. It’s so delicious and very satisfying.
A cheesy, well seasoned mushroom quesadilla! the most satisfying meal, particularly when paired with a strong Margarita!
Nachos with pulled pork, topped with lots of jalepnos and sour cream and black beans
Huevo Rancheros! The delicious spicy Mexican egg dish is perfect for breakfast or a quick and delicious lunch or dinner ( as an easy alternative to take-away:) My family all enjoy it and it’s actually very healthy too!
Nachos are my favorite and always a hit with the kids
Our family loves Mexican Nachos, made with lots of spices, fresh avocado and tomato! one of our favourite friday evening treats while watching a movie.
Gluten free nachos. A delicious, guilt free, satisfying meal to share with friends.
I love Nachos, I’m a picker so anything I can play with is excellent to me.
I love chicken enchiladas covered in melted cheese mmm. I make them gluten free these day for my mum though.
Enchiladas, the mouth water beef yummmmmmm
My favourite Mexican recipe is Chicken fajitas with a lime salsa, combining lime and a black bean salsa with chipotle BBQ chicken. Served with warm tortillas, sour cream and avocado this is always a hit with friends.
Chicken enchiladas with tomato salsa, they’re seriously THAT good, well at least the way my wife makes them which is DELICIOUS :)
Cheesy Beef Quesadillas, dipped in Guacamole to heighten the taste sensation. I could seriously eat them non stop, day in, day out, for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks too. For my gluttony towards my favourite Mexican dish I am very thankful for my lean gene.
The kids enjoy a cooking adventure, assembling their flavorsome layered Mexican Lasagna. Easy to control the spiciness, this family favorite is even more delicious reheated!
Cabeza Taco – Such a rare dish to find but such a succulent meat topped off with mexican spices.
I love Mexican Picadillo! I use it to fill empanadas, chiles rellenos, tamales, tacos, stuffed potatoes list is endless, so tasty and so many uses. Place a spoonful of picadillo into a hot corn tortilla. Voilá! An instant (and delicious) taco.
Definitely tacos – crunchy tacos that is, none of that soft taco nonsense ;)
I cant live without spicy pulled pork and sour cream tacos, it’s my favorite Mexican food dream!
Quesadillas because they’re easy to make and everyone loves them
Guacamole! I just love love love guacamole, especially when made with heaps of fresh coriander!
I love beef tacos jam-packed with kidney beans, chilli, onion, cheese and LOADS of sour cream!
has to be tacos love them the whole family enjoy preparing and eating them
Love Chicken Fajitas because they are delicious!
Has to be Spicy Chicken Tostadas because its got a tasty kick of heat and chicken that melts in your mouth.
Chicken, Chili and Cheese Quesadillas as they are great for both lunch and dinner and pack a lot of heat which I adore.
I love Pinto Bean Salsa Salad as its great for all sorts of occasions. Whether its a healthy snack, to take a long to a bbq or to add to a meal of chicken.
Hot tamales in a red hot! Fortunate to have lived in Texas and love Tex/Mex food.
Tacos are a favourite at my house. They taste amazing and are one of the few meals I can guarantee will all get eaten. Everyone can put on theirs what they like. My kids like to keep theirs more basic, my husband loves to add hot sauce. Everyone is happy when it’s Taco Night.
Mexican beef salad with beans – quick, easy, healthy and tasty!
Mmmm when I hear the word mexican I think of two things, nachos and Brad Pitt. Yum and more yum!
I love beef nachos with heaps of cheese and sour cream!
There is nothing better than fajitas, so tasty and versatile, everyone can have theirs however they want and with sides/dips like salsa, guacamole and queso – everything is delicious, fresh and healthy! Only other addition to make it perfect is great friends and margaritas! Thanks!
Burritos are my favourite – just so so tasty – like a warm hug inside :)
Quesadillas, they’re sloppy amazing goodness with a slight crunch.
My favourite has got to be a beautiful burrito. nothing compares!
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!
Burritos are my favourite – so so tasty – like a warm hug inside :)
Chicken enchiladas are my favourite.
When we out at Mexican I always have the Burrito Del Mar which has lovely creamy prawns in it, but am also very partial to a quesadilla or two. In fact I love all mexican food !
