Mexican food!?!
Mexican food!?
When I was in Mexico we tried some mexican food. I just cant remember the names anymore!
The first food was something with corn, chili, mayonaise and lemon in it! They sodld it on the streets.
The other thing was something that ended with 'jete' i think. It was all kinds of meat in a very spicy souce with onions and peppers in it and you could put it on a burrito. Can anybody tell me what it was called?! Thank you!!!!
Answers: Well, the first one souds like corn--elote. That's just how they prepare it in Mexico, with chili, mayo, and lemon, sometimes a powdery type cheese. Personally I think they add all that stuff because the corn here is tough and doesn't have that much flavor on its own! The second could have been a "molcajete" It is served in a "molcajete", which is the "Aztec blender". lol. JK, it is used to grind things, chile, spices, tomatoes for salsa. The molcajetes (the dish) can come with one kind of meat--beef, or it can be mixed--beef, chicken, shrimp. Usually they have a spicy red soupy sauce with onions, peppers, cactus and cheese. Hope this helped! I dont know maybe that was poo with corn in it ... hahaha you ate poo and liked it Pambazo assembly
