¡Mexican
Food!
Mexican cuisine is centered around three national staples: tortillas, fried
beans and chili peppers. Tortillas are thin round patties of pressed corn
or wheat-flour dough cooked on griddles. Beans (frijoles) are eaten boiled,
fried or refried, in soups, on tortillas or with just about anything. There
is also an astonishing array of freshly squeezed fruit juices (jugos),
which are readily available from street stalls. (from the Lonely Planet
