Mexican Cuisine

Vibrant corn tortillas, charred salsas, beans, avocado, citrus, and smoky chillies

About Mexican Cuisine

Mexican cuisine is a UNESCO-recognized culinary heritage built on thousands of years of Mesoamerican ingredients—corn (maize), beans, tomatoes, tomatillos, avocados, squash, cacao, and an extraordinary spectrum of fresh and dried chillies. Meals bring people together around warm tortillas, bright lime-kissed salsas, slow-simmered beans (frijoles), fresh cilantro, and bold, smoky spices like cumin and Mexican oregano.
