Homemade Mexican food of all the cuisines available in the world is the most famous and adoptable for the plain fare. Mexican menu has an inexhaustible store of interesting recipes for any occasion either a holiday or an everyday meal. Besides, homemade Mexican food always leaves space for improvisation with its various herbs, chiles and sauces.
Homemade Mexican food in general is supposed to be hot and spicy, but people who prefer a little calmer and milder sauces may easily avoid them and substitute some ingredients by their less zesty options. Onion and garlic appear almost in every Mexican dish (except desserts of course). Other top spices are chiles, cumin and oregano, as nothing can substitute their particular flavor.
Homemade Mexican food recipes can astonish you by the great number of unusual seasonings, but if not be lazy and find the necessary herbs and chiles your dishes will acquire especially thrilling taste and flavor. Mexican food will never run out of interesting cooking ideas. To make a traditional Mexican atmosphere at home one can easily cook shrimps with salsa as an appetizer, enchilladas and Spanish rice as a main dish, and plantains con crema as a dessert, or chiles rellenos with refried beans and a flan as a dessert. Mexican recipes are rich on dishes that can be prepared in the open air, that is cooked on the grill. For a picnic on a fragrant summer night carne asada (grilled beef) wrapped in crispy tortillas and topped with onions and fresh flavorful salsa will make your guests come back for more. To warm up cold winter nights make some pumpkin soup chorizo, refry some black jalapeno beans and conclude it with steaming fresh-baked apple empanadas.
All this can be done with one's usual kitchen gear, but for those particularly captivated by Mexican cuisine, some authentic equipment is available. Some special clay pots and dishes for simmering sauces, molcajetes (mortar and pestle) for grinding spices, tortilla presses will create a unique atmosphere in your kitchen and home.
