How to Cook: Good Mexican Food
Mexican food can be difficult to get to taste authentic. So, to help you get a good response when someone asks “Whats For Dinner?”, lets take a look at a couple of tips for how to cook this cultural cuisine.
With Mexican flavored food, cumin is usually the spice that makes the difference between good and really good. Start with about ¼ tsp. and then taste it. Increase the amount by ¼ tsp. each time until it is as spicy as you want. Also, if you want that genuine almost musky flavor that Mexican food has, don’t hesitate to put in lots of cilantro.
Another good way to cook good Mexican food is to make your own tortillas. There are some great recipes out there for both flour and corn tortillas, or you can just buy some of the uncooked flour tortillas at the store and cook them stove-top in a frying pan. The trick with tortillas is to flip them often, that way the inside will cook as evenly as the outside. You know you’re cooking tortillas right when they puff up almost like a balloon.
Also, include some citrus in your Mexican spread! Nothing creates a good contrast to that spicy flavor like some fresh pineapple or cantaloupe.
Also, for those who want the peppers, but not so much heat (or intestinal discomfort), try to take all the seeds and pulp out of the peppers before adding them.
Happy cooking, and have fun making your cooking as colorful as Mexico!!
