delicioso list surprise welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 Mexican
foods
Narula Johnson
for this list will be ranking the most
popular foods dishes and recipes from
the world of traditional Mexican cuisine
we will be omitting dips sauces and
drinks however this means that salsa
mole a guacamole and or chata will be
held off for another day
we’ll also be skipping the world of
tex-mex cuisine for now so save those
nachos and chimichangas for your next
party number 10 churro who says you
can’t eat dessert first we’re kicking
off our list with this fried sugary
treat which to be fair isn’t only
consumed for dessert instead many
Mexicans actually start their days off
with churros for breakfast
although the pastries popularity is not
limited to Mexico my hands an alliance
think they’re gonna eat me you kick type
down trying to get your chaser to tell
me where the freshest churros are what
country is Mexico in folks in France
Spain and Portugal have been known to
dip their churros which are essentially
dough pastries in their morning coffee
one theory goes that Portuguese
explorers exposed Europe to the treat
after bringing them back from their
trips to Ming Dynasty China whatever
their origins
these doughnut like snacks are oh so
good so a churro walks into a bar and
the bartender is like hey we don’t serve
doughnuts here man and the chai was like
what are you talking about I’m not a
doughnut I know my turn is like are you
sure and the trails like yeah I’m sure
number nine gordita the name of the next
food on our list translates from Spanish
to little fat one in English and comes
from the small rounded masa or dough
which surrounds a meat cheese or veggie
filling gorditas are usually prepared
with either a corn or wheat masa and are
either baked or fried in a shape
somewhat similar to a British pasty or
savoury popover and now we’re going to
slice them open do you want them to look
kind of like a pocket because we’re
going to fill them up with delicious
food the best thing about these little
pockets of food love however is that
they can be filled with just about
anything imaginable making them a
versatile snack or supper for any time
of the day and I’m serving my Lord ITA’s
with a very simple salad
it has romaine lettuce tomatoes red
onions and queso fresco don’t forget to
serve them with your favorite salsa and
that’s it
number eight sorbet the traditional
Mexican dish known as the SOPA is
another handy snack food with a variety
of delicious preparations the base of
the soap Bay begins with a lime soaked
fried corn dough which is then topped
with refried beans veggies and sauce to
the chef’s taste so I’m just going to
grab one of the sofas and I’m going to
top it with the filling you can use any
kind of food you like to fill the sopes
the possibilities are endless meat
toppings such as chicken or pork can be
added to the sorbet although the
traditional preparation often combines
the veggies with either a red or green
chili sauce or salsa with a cream
topping but really the sabe is delicious
in every preparation which makes it a
must try Mexican dish
espero I ran into the fellow
number seven what’s soleil when I make
pozole it’s always for a great occasion
so I go the whole nine yards I start
with this Nixtamal that I get down at
the tortilla factory some foodies may
not immediately think of soups or stews
when they imagine traditional Mexican
cuisine but this next entry on our list
is definitely a delicious exception the
pasola is a Mexican soup packed with
flavor and history as it used to be
utilized in ancient Aztec culture for
religious rituals including human
sacrifice
today the posole is thankfully not
prepared with people meat but instead
has a base of dried corn kernels known
as hominy the stew is then seasoned with
chili peppers cabbage salsa and citrus
before adding in pork for a traditional
posole presentation a castle Bracken
pero ninguna meme por la sala Pinson de
Marana me Khorasan – mojito
number 6 chilaquiles o think about some
breakfast am i right oh my god
chilaquiles chilaquiles may not be a
household name for those who only
occasionally dabble in Mexican cuisine
but diehard foodies know that this tasty
treat is essential eating for those
visiting Mexico on vacation this simple
but delicious dish is anchored by
several lightly fried corn tortillas
which are then cut into triangles and
placed on four corners of a plate ok so
I have my delicious tortilla strips here
I’m going to top those with some salsa
if you wanted to do this for like a
brunch or something you could totally
have your chips all fried and just keep
them warm in the oven the tortillas are
then drenched in a salsa or mole a sauce
before being simmered until soft and
then topped with Mexican crema which is
similar to sour cream queso fresco a
type of cheese onions and avocado hungry
yet but that is just your basic recipe I
like to top it with some cayenne pepper
because I like it spicy and there’s how
it was presented to me and Flagstaff
with a big ladle of green chili verde
pork stew over the top and a rice beans
hashbrowns tortilla which was amazing
number five tamale tamales are a staple
of mexican street food culture and a
typical example of simple classic
cooking at its finest
the traditional tamale begins with that
essential Mexican ingredient masa which
is steamed in a corn husk along with the
toppings and ingredients to taste savory
and sweet tamales are not uncommon to
see in Mexico as this handy portable
snack can be filled with meats cheeses
veggies or even fruit this makes them a
perfect vessel for a chef’s creativity
making them immensely popular around the
world only you go for it and add some
pineapple
I had a few raisins number four
quesadilla what’s there to eat get off
Napoleon make yourself a dance J cedilha
fine it’s difficult to imagine a Mexican
food with as much crossover potential as
the classic quesadilla this easy to
prepare and easy to eat food is easily
one of the most popular Mexican dishes
in North America thanks to its ability
to hold any manner of savory or sweet
filling quesadillas consist of a wheat
or corn tortilla filled with cheese meat
or veggies and then heated on a stove or
flattop
until the mixture is cooked and the
tortilla is charred and crispy this
makes them excellent lunch ideas for
picky kids as well as a quick and easy
dinner for busy adults number three
burrito this burrito is delicious but it
is feeling
look around anywhere and it’s extremely
likely you’ll stumble upon a local joint
serving up burritos its Taco Bell’s
99-cent BB conch burrito indeed this
Mexican culinary staple has quickly
become an obsession for many North
American diners with numerous fast-food
establishments and chain restaurants
riding the burrito train for all it’s
worth
so Rito’s now these to be all the crazy
new Kayla moment absolutely small
burrito shops popping up all over the
place and I’m not surprised Moorish
handheld soldiered awesome krub the
burritos popularity again is probably
due to its versatility as a vessel with
its large wheat flour tortilla
encompassing any number of savory
fillings veggies beans and rice
this makes the burritos place in popular
culture safe and sound for many years to
come
chicken burrito time I’m out you can
burrito rug to that number 2 enchilada
house food great chicken Archuleta
carne asada and Spanish rice looks
pretty good yeah these people really
know how to cook
dig in tons of it the classic Mexican
enchilada is a dish one can see on the
menu of many restaurants around the
world not only those specializing in
traditional Mexican food this is due not
only to the dishes popularity but also
to how easily a chef can put his or her
own personal creative stamp on it a
standard enchilada preparation is a corn
tortilla wrapped around the filling of
your choice and covered in a chili
pepper sauce and then all you do is you
wrap like so and you play some seam side
down in your dish refried beans are
common side dishes to the enchilada
while the tortillas themselves can also
be covered in salsas or savory mola
sauces resulting in hundreds of possible
enchilada concoctions and you can really
smell the honey and cocoa with a
smokiness of chicken as well before we
reveal our number one pick here are a
few deliciously honorable mentions it’s
ready so whether you’re going to do
enchiladas burritos nachos tacos I’m
gonna do burritos

contrast as well as flavor
