Burritos, tacos, enchiladas, nachos… Mmmm, do you like Mexican food as much as we do? Mexican food mainly consists of tortillas thus the top three most popular dishes are tacos – stuffed crispy tortillas, enchiladas – stuffed soft tortillas cut into triangles and burritos – stuffed and rolled soft tortillas. There are many prejudices concerning this cuisine such as it being caloric, spicy, unhealthy and difficult to digest. However, this does not need to be the case. The composition of the filling depends solely on you! Mexican tortillas are mainly filled with various spreads such as guacamole (avocado spread with lemon and garlic), black bean spread, sour cream and “picco de gallo” (salsa made of fresh onions, spicy peppers, tomato and coriander). In addition to spreads, grilled vegetables, rice, meat and fresh salad are an essential part! What most people consider unhealthy when referring to Mexican food is the combination of fatty spreads and white dough. Therefore, next time you decide eat light and heathy, take a little time out of your busy schedule and make your own Mexican combo, the right way!
