113 authentic Mexican recipes
Corn tortillas, beans, salsas, cilantro, lime
Mexican cooking is rooted in the ancient milpa triad of corn, beans, and squash—a trio cultivated for millennia before Spanish contact added pigs, rice, and olive oil to an already complex table. Nixtamalization, the alkaline treatment of dried corn, produces the masa behind tortillas, tamales, and antojitos. Regional expression ranges from Oaxaca's chocolate-dark moles and twenty-ingredient chiles to Yucatecan citrus-marinated cochinita pibil and Norteño grilled meats. Salsas—raw tomatillo verde, smoky chipotle, fiery árbol—are their own discipline. Cilantro, lime, epazote, and avocado bind it all together. From taco-night weekdays to elaborate holiday feasts, Mexican recipes suit every occasion.
