The food recipes in the Yucatan include a lot of pulled pork, as we would call them in Alberta in Canada. They do a lot of baking under the ground with meats wrapped in bread. Believe it or not, people in the Yucatan eat a lot of spaghetti but here, it is is made of wieners and ketchup. Mexicans recipes commonly have chilies.

My wife makes a Yucatecan dish quite often called chiles en nogada, which is a stuffed chili with a bunch of nuts and peaches and meats topped with cream sauce.
The tacos and enchiladas that you see in the US are not like they have here in Mexico. Whoever brought these dishes to the US made them very Americanized. Here in Mexico, they are usually made with soft corn tortillas and you rarely see the hard shell tortillas that are common in the grocery stores in the US.
They use corn tortillas pretty much with every meal. You use it to clean your plate with, you use it to dip in your sauce, etc. Of course, Mexicans also make a lot of burritos but we don’t eat a lot of that in our house because my wife is not crazy about them; she likes Canadian food.

Some of the most common food recipes of Mexico are chiles relleno (stuffed chiles), enchiladas, tacos, chicken soup, scrambled eggs, and hotcakes (pancakes), beans, rice, spaghetti, carne asada, salads, etc. These are the kinds of food that you would normally have in a Mexican home. In Mexican homes, normally, the women do the cooking. The women also do the cleaning but you could also get a housekeeper to do all the cleaning for you.Food recipes in Mexico may vary depending on...

I believe that Tex-Mex food uses use yellow cheese or cheddar cheese on their tacos but here in Mexico, we don’t do that. We use white cheese in our tacos.

Mexico has different varieties of menudo. We have red menudo, green menudo, and white menudo. In Tijuana, where I come from, you will also find tamales from different places in Mexico since there are lots of people moving from different places in Mexico to Rosarito and Tijuana. Different varieties of Mexican food are available in the area of Baja, California since a lot of people from different parts of Mexico and the US, come here.
