Adam Roseman: Introduction to Mexican Cooking

Certainly, Mexican cooking is a bit labor intensive.  However, if you do most of the actual work ahead of time, your cooking time will be drastically reduced and you’ll find that Mexican cooking can be quite easy.

Most Mexican cooking includes corn or rice, beans, tomatoes and a variety of spices. Corn can be eating fresh or as part of cooked dishes, but is used primarily as the basis for “masa” dough, the dough for tamales, tortillas, tacos and other staples of Mexican cuisine.  Rice is the other grain commonly used in Mexican foods.  Beans, ranging from lentils to kidney beans, are critical for Mexican soups and stews, while no sauce is complete without tomatoes and spices. Each of the four main regions of Mexico has its own variation of the aroma, consistency, and seasonings of the country’s traditional cuisine.
