Experiment with tortillas. To make them more crisp, place a few teaspoons of oil in a frying pan and fry tortillas, one at a time, for a few seconds until crisp. Next time you prepare nachos, layer ingredients between whole tortillas, instead of using tortilla chips. Remember to wait and cut your nachos after the ingredients have been baked.

Mexican Holiday Traditions Chocolate and Mexico Some recipes Olla podrida - Mexican "pot-au-feu" Chili con queso - Mexico Mocha Sauce Vegetable Tamales A look into the cooking of Mexico will lead you on a journey back to the Pre-Columbian era, through the Spanish conquest and colonization, into the kitchens of Maximilian of Hapsburg and across the country of today, peeking into bowls and sniffing the contents of terra cotta containers. Though Mexican cuisine has become diversified, it is still firmly rooted in history. We have to go back to 700 B.CÂ The Meso-American civilization, or "corn" civilization, was already well-established. The staple food of all the Indian tribes, corn, was the line between man and the gods, both a common bond and a source of quarrels among the tribes. Though the young ears could simply be boiled and the juicy kernels bitten off, Indian women learned other ways of using and cooking the corn. They served it as a kind of porridge, "atole," for breakfast. When simmered with meat, it became "pozole," and the women transported it in gourds to the fields to feed the workers. Ground into flour, it was made into tortillas, the flat rounds that were either soft or crunchy, or into tamales, stuffed with beans or vegetables. Corn was also part of feasts: the flour, dissolved in water, was set aside to ferment in order to make a strong beverage flavoured with chilies or chocolate.

@import "/styles/coopext_adv.css"; Low-Fat Mexican Cooking: Can we still enjoy it with less fat? By Doreen La Duca, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension, Jefferson County September 15, 2000 Hispanics have had a profound and lasting influence on American history, values and culture, and not the least of these influences is the integration of Mexican food into the American diet. Burritos, enchiladas, tacos, nachos and just about any type of the spicy, chile-laden fare are staples in restaurant, party and home cooking scenes. Dining on Mexican cuisine and sipping Margaritas often is associated with relaxation and that full, sleepy feeling that Mexican food provides. But, as much as we love to eat it, we also know that many dishes can be high in fat and not very healthy. Today's American-style, Mexican foods have resulted from the combined culinary influences of early Spanish settlers and indigenous peoples. Burritos, Chimichangas, tacos and taquitos are considered Mexico's " Northern cuisine." Basic recipes vary from region to region, but foods such as these took their strongest hold in the northern-most region of Mexico, which borders the United States. The food has become a part of the American diet, regardless of our heritage. Many of these recipes, however, are very high in fat. Studies show that obesity is on the rise. Approximately one-third of adults in this country are overweight or obese. Being overweight puts us at greater risk for diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and some forms of cancer.

The Mayans, as well as Aztecs, the ancient native culture most associated with Mexico, were fond of tomatillos, also called tomate verde. They are a cousin of the tomato, which Mexicans call jitomate or tomate, depending on the region of the country. This dish also calls for fresh tuna, typical of use of the excellent seafood from local waters in Yucatan cooking. Tomatillos are most commonly used in salsa verde cruda, the green table sauce, and salsa verde, the lightly cooked sauce used for enchiladas and chilaquiles. Both these loose, green sauces often call for lightly-boiled tomatillos, because cooking eliminates their raw taste and rounds out the lemony, clean flavor we enjoy in most dishes featuring this Mexican native.

Veg-Mex Meatless Mexican cooking for the holidays By Yovanna Bieberich I LOVE MEAT. I'd be a failure as a vegetarian. Now, don't get me wrong. It's not as if everywhere I eat, a cow must die. I just happen to enjoy an occasional slab of medium-rare juicy joy. A couple weeks ago, when I obtained a copy of Nancy Zaslavsky's Meatless Mexican Home Cooking (St. Martin's Griffin; $15.95), I eyed it rather skeptically. Zaslavsky's first book, A Cook's Tour of Mexico , was nominated for the 1996 James Beard Award, and for good reason: her recipes are authentic culinary recordings of the flavorful heritage of Mexico. From Nov. 11 to 13, Zaslavsky will be participating in a three-day series of workshops and seminars on traditional Mexican cooking methods and recipes at the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone. On Nov. 16, she brings a special presentation of Mexican-style holiday dishes to Ramekins, the Sonoma Valley culinary school. "Mexico, of course, doesn't have a Thanksgiving celebration, but I've chosen some recipes used during the holidays in Mexico to suggest people try out," she says. The recipes include both meat and meatless dishes.

Today is FOOD ENCYCLOPEDIA DIRECTORY Mexican CuisineMexican Cooking Mexican cuisine is a style of food that originated in Mexico Mexican cuisine is known for its intense and varied flavors, colorful decoration, and the variety of spices that it has. Mexican gastronomy, in terms of diversity of appealing tastes and textures, is one of the richest in the world, rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals, though some people characterize it as greasy and excessively spicy. When Spanish conquistadores arrived in the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan (on the ruins of which Mexico City was built), they found that the local people's diet consisted of corn-based dishes with herbs, usually complemented with beans. Later on, the conquistadores added to the indigenous foods of pre-Columbian Mexico (including chocolate maize , the tomato , and vanilla ) the rice, beef, and wine that they brought with them from Spain. The totopo (a deep-fried chip of corn tortilla ) may have been created as part of this cuisine. Most of today's Mexican cuisine is based on Native American traditions, including the

A Day of Appetizers Salas Silva, Tlaxcala, Mexico, August 22nd, 2000 Night had fallen by the time we arrived at the double doors that front Salas Silva , the hacienda-style home of Jon Jarvis and Dona Estela. Jon opened one of the double doors that front his home and invited us inside. We entered a small candlelit porch and followed our host into an antechamber that was similarly illuminated by candlelight and was graced by a small fountain that tinkled a cheerful welcome. We then went through a doorway and suddenly found ourselves in a large, open room, once again candlelit, where we were accomodated on comfortable sofas and refreshed with Margeritas. It was an enchanting end to what had been a long day's journey from Mexico City via the lovely city of Tlaxcala. The next morning we were able to discover the layout and situation of the hacienda more exactly. The hacienda stands on open ground close to a lake. In the distance and in three different directions, the volcanoes Popocatepetl, Ixtaccihuatl and La Malinche can be seen. Later that morning we gathered in the kitchen where our lesson in preparing Mexican appetizers was to be conducted by Dona Estela and her brother. In no time at all we found ourselves chopping, slicing, mixing and so forth under the careful guidance of our teachers and by the end of the morning we had prepared the following dishes:
