Mexican Chicken Dish

Cooking tortillas at home is a common family tradition in Hispanic homes. Families pass down special recipes

A commonly consumed food in México is refried beans or frijoles refritos. This is a traditional staple for Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine. Also, tortillas are very common. Tortilla can be directly translated as “little cake”. It is used in several different types of dishes in Spanish speaking countries as well as the United States. In México, “tortilla” refers to a flatbread made from corn or wheat. Another commonly eaten food would be a burrito or taco de harina which is a flour tortilla wrapped or folded around a filling. The flour tortilla is usually lightly grilled or steamed so that it can be softened and made more pliable. The fillings used in México are only refried beans, rice, meat, or a combination of all. Also the tortillas are a much smaller size. Commonly used beverages in México are Licuado de

When most people hear the word “Mexican”, a person instantly thinks of food. This is because Mexicans have been known through out America as a culture to have a variety of some of the best dishes. Hispanics males take pride in working, just as the females take pride in cooking. The women don’t do it just for the heck of it, they make a form of art and also competition. Every Mexican family has a person who competes with another, to see who can make the best dish. Mexicans have different dishes from soups to rice. The one soup you will here in the Mexican generation is pozole. This is a soup that consists of pork, hominy, and spicy herbs. This recipe has been in my family for a more then a decade, and now I share it with you. In

Traditional Hispanic food can be identified by the appearance of the tortillas and the thick, rich enchilada sauces that can be green, brown or red and resemble a thick gravy. Rice and refried beans typically are served inside of the tortillas or on the side, and this dish can be referred to as an enchilada or as a chimichanga if it is deep fried on the outside. Melted cheese over the top of the dish is also a good indication of Hispanic food.

You need to roll the ingredients into the flour tortillas and place them in the glass pan. Take a flour tortilla (I use Mission brand burrito-size flour tortillas) and smear about a tablespoon full of the warm refried beans on it in a circular patter covering the middle of the tortilla. Then, add about a tablespoon of the browned hamburger to the top of the beans. Add a tablespoon of the cream sauce. Next, sprinkle some grated cheese on it. I like to go the easy route and buy my cheese already grated. I use Kraft brand graded cheese in a bag. I buy the two cup size bag, but you can add more or less cheese based on your preference. You will also need a sprinkle of the green onions and the diced tomatoes. While adding the sauce, cheese, onions, and tomatoes, keep in mind that you need to save some on the side for a topping, so sparingly use these items. Then, roll the tortillas and place them in the glass pan. Make sure, when you place the enchiladas in the pan, that all the

As far as cooking utensils go, we will need the following: 2 large bowls, a small cup, a microwavable bowl,

During this project, I learned how to make a common Hispanic dish. I also learned about different herbs that are common in Mexican culinary practices (epazote being one). After completing this project, I would say that I wish my culture was more similar to what I learned. My culture doesn’t put as much spice and flavor into the food as the Hispanic culture does. I can apply what I learned and connect more with the Hispanic culture by trying out new spices when I cook. I think the knowledge I gained from completing this project will help me appreciate other cultures’ foods more. Refried beans are a very common dish, but I don’t think most people realize how long it takes to make them. I know I didn’t until I started this project. I feel good

　　As a Mexican-American myself I am fairly familiar with many Mexican dishes. I have also had food from Taco Bell on a number of occasions. The headliners of the Taco Bell menu are what now is considered stereotypic Mexican food, tacos and burritos. While there are tacos and burritos in Mexico, and they are popular there as well, there are also a number of equally popular dishes that Taco Bell ignores. One of my personal favorites is a dish called Chilaquiles. It is a very simple and quick dish to make. Chilaquiles takes less than an twenty

Briefly examining the extraordinary world of Mexican food history can be traced back to 1521 when the Spaniards first reached the shores of the might Yucatan. After nearly three centuries of Spaniard rule, and thanks to Miguel Hidalgo shouting his grito: "Mexicanos! Viva Mexico! Viva la Independencia!" the cuisine we know today was as different as the culture of this country compromised of a free people.

Chili’s originated with wanting to become a place for people to hang out with good company over some food and a drink or two. This restaurant is about creating a connection with family and friends that integrate over the love of food. The first location was opened in Dallas, Texas in 1975. It was first a post office before it became a little hangout place named Chili’s. The company was founded by Larry Lavine which is now taken over by Brinker Incorporated. Larry’s idea of Chili’s was going to be a laidback place where people can have fun and hangout. He wanted a menu that was affordable to people and wanted to create American food using a Texan-Mexican themed menu. In 1983, Larry was smart to sell the company to Brinker Incorporated.

To start things off, let me mention that I am a second generation Mexican-American. Due to this, I was extremely thrilled to see that we get to talk about our “family food culture” during our segment on México. I love food in general and talking about my family’s traditions is always fun. As a bicultural family, many of the foods we eat are an assortment of traditional Mexican dishes and your everyday classic American food. Sometimes we will spend a week eating Mexican food and then the next week we will switch to something else.

Start with an appetizer like the pork and cheese pupusas, chicken tamales, yucca with fried pork, nachos or the Mexican torta. For lighter fare, try a house made soup like the sopa de pollo, sopa de mondrongo or the sopa de res. For the main course, guests have their choice of quesadillas, Mexican fajitas, seafood and beef dishes.
