Mexican cuisine

Tortillas and salsa

Mexican cuisine is the food tradition of Mexico, built on corn, beans, and chili peppers with influences from indigenous and Spanish cooking.

It encompasses regional variations from Oaxacan moles to Yucatecan cochinita pibil, and includes dishes like tacos, tamales, and enchiladas.
