What are some authentic Mexican recipes?
Some examples are provided: Cochinita Pibil – A preparation of traditional cochinita involves marinating pork meat in strongly acidic citrus juice, coloring it with annatto seed, and roasting the meat while it is wrapped in a banana leaf. Birria , which is a meat stew, made of mutton, goat or lamb, and it is often served with corn tortillas, onion, cilantro and lime. Mole Poblano , which can be defined as a very thick, homogeneous sauce with complex flavors. The most common way to consume mole is with chicken, though any kind of meat may be served with mole sauce. Another preparation, more common in Mexican restaurants, is enchiladas (corn tortillas wrapped around chicken, cheese or some other simple filling) baked in mole sauce. Pozole (from Nahuatl pozolli) was first created by Aztec people. When Spain conquered Mexico, some ingredients such as the meat changed, but it has kept most of the original recipe: a beef, pork or chicken soup with corn, avocado and some spices.
