Corn tortillas are especially important in Mexican cuisine and they make her popular tacos, flautas, quesadillas, burritos, enchiladas, chilaquiles, tortilla chips, chimichangas, mules, or enmoladas entomatadas.

The most important celebration in Mexico



  Cinco de Mayo is celebrated more enthusiastically by Mexican descendants in the United States than in its native Mexico. The day celebrates the victory of the Mexican Army versus the French at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Often it is mistakenly called  Mexican
Independence Day. Mexico had actually declared its independence on September 16, 1810, fifty years earlier.
Celebrations include not only wonderful Mexican foods, but also parades, mariachi music, and folk dancing. Decorate your home with plenty of flowers, and add the colors from the flag of Mexico – green white and red. There is no set traditional food for Cinco de Mayo, as foods vary between the families and the regions of Mexico, combining
native Aztec foodstuffs, with a rich variety of items brought by Spanish conquistadors and settlers. Traditionally Mexican foods include guacamole, chilaquiles, enchiladas and mole poblano. The food will be colorfully presented with many vegetables and salsa.
