Maybe i am wrong but mexican food only based on few ingredients?

Question

every dish basically the same: tortilla, tomato, bean, rice, onion, green onion, chilly and cheese with different meat? the rest are just the differences of presentation and arrangement? wrapped, fried, etc?

or maybe because i am having american mexican food?

Answer 1

u've been americanized mexican food a.k.a.

boring  u probably dont have a clue what the real thing is until u eat it all the time

Answer 2

thats what the majority of people think but when i watch my mom cook she uses a h**l of alot of ingredients especially b/c she makes the authentic dishes, you should go to mexico the food over there is soo mux better than all the stuff they have here!

Answer 3

No, of course not.

Just think about this: where would the world be without all teh fruits, vgetables and animals found only in what we refer to as the New World (the American continent)?

Potatoes, tomatoes, corn, pumpkin, zucchini, cucumbers,  turkey, avocado, yams, all kinds of exotic fruits, beans of all colors and sizes, achiote for flavor and color, chocolate, peppers.

Answer 4

nah ur right!

Answer 5

You do need to out for some real Mexican food, not just "Tex-Mex."  For a peek at what the vast possibilities are, take a look at Rick Bayless' cookbooks of Mexican cuisine.

Answer 6

Hola baby! Me love Meheco food, gives lots of gas!!!

Answer 7

Well I will say this. Yes alot of the food is served with these items, mainly like onions, cilantro, tortillas, and salsa but no there is many different things to make. Not everything is wrapped in a tortilla. They have Pazole (Mexican soup that has hominy in it and meat) and Menudo (the soup made with cow stomach and intestines) and there Pan (sweet breads) Oh I could go on and on. Very good food!!!

Answer 8

idk

Answer 9

You haven't had authentic Mexican Food. You have been eating Americanized Mexican food, two different things.

Answer 10

Some restaurants are suppose to be Mexican restaurants but they are indeed American Mexican.

Answer 11

Have you heard of Mole?  It is by far one of the most complex dishes with lots of ingredients inclusing chilies and chocolate!

Answer 12

You're eating in American restaurants that serve Mexican style food.

You've left out zucchini, corn, hominy, radish, the ever present lime, carrot.  And the eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, seafood, avacado, and I could go on and on. Oh, and the *fruit*!  OMG!

Mexican food in Mexico is a varied as any other country's.  Even tacos there come in an almost infinite number of combinations . . . as they're really nothing but sammiches with corn tortillas rather than bread.

Answer 13

you forgot the spices - cilantro (coriander), cumin, cloves and oregano -my husband is Mexican, you'd be surprised how much variety you can get from those few ingredients

Answer 14

your probaley something like having taco bell so ya mexican american food and you probaley haven't tried things u dont know
