¡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 Guide to Mexico)
