Frito is a traditional dish from the Costa Grande Guerrero. It's made with pork ribs and guajillo peppers. Tamales nejos are made with corn and a pinch of ash, and they are wrapped in banana leaves instead of dry corn leaves. You can also add rice and beans as side dishes.

Birria is a traditional dish from the state of Jalisco. It's usually made with goat meat. The meat is marinated with a mix of dried chiles, spices, and vinegar, then slow-cooked. It's served with its broth as a soup or dry with tortillas. Pickled onions and lime are popular toppings. Eating birria with my family during Sunday lunch is a memory I will always treasure.

Torta Ahogada

The torta ahogada is a traditional dish from Jalisco, specifically from Guadalajara. It is made with pork—usually chopped—but it can also be made with other types of meat. The meat is placed inside a bolillo, which is typically salty, and then it's covered with a tomato sauce and a chili sauce, usually made from chile de árbol.

Eating it on Saturdays, whether at family events or just as a meal, is a cherished memory for me. It’s also special because I had my first date with my girlfriend while eating this dish.

Torta Ahogada

2025-08-02 15:33:07 UTC

Torta ahogada is a traditional dish from Guadalajara. It's made with a salty bread roll crispy on the outside and soft on the inside stuffed with pork carnitas and completely "drowned" in a spiced tomato sauce. For those who enjoy spicy food, a second, much spicier sauce made with chile de árbol can be added.

It's accompanied with pickled onions, a squeeze of lemon, and sometimes refried beans. The key is to eat it with your hands, without fear of getting dirty, because a good torta ahogada always drips with sauce.

Going to eat tortas ahogadas with my family every Sunday is a fond memory.

It is prepared with raw shrimp marinated in lemon juice, mixed with fresh green chilies, cilantro, cucumber, and sometimes mango. Red onion is added for extra flavor.

Enchiladas verdes

2025-08-02 15:33:42 UTC

Why green enchiladas are the best traditional Mexican dish.

In my opinion, it's because they're addictive; you never get full, even if you've had 50 of them.

Their flavor is amazing, and there are many different kinds of enchiladas, but Enchiladas Verdes are the best.
