From tacos and tamales to enchiladas and agua fresca, it’s easy to fall in love with the flavors of Mexican cuisine. We’ve rounded up our best authentic Mexican recipes (along with some really great Mexican-inspired takes) to pay homage to all the delicious dishes we find ourselves coming back to, time and time again.
Mexican cuisine is far more varied than most people realize. And, as much as we love the classic dishes that have become popular in the United States (think tacos and guacamole) there is so much more to discover when it comes to the food and cooking (and desserts and drinks!) of Mexico. That’s why we’ve rounded up these recipes—to celebrate the rich and sophisticated flavors that developed when indigenous ingredients like corn, chiles and chocolate met Spanish culinary customs. There are more far more regional dishes worth mentioning than we can highlight here, but these recipes make for a good starting place—including this one for savory puntas de res. A dry spice rub on the meat imparts a great deal of flavor, and a luxurious sauce coats the stewed beef, tomatoes and fresh chiles gueros that are mellow but have just enough of a kick and a whole lot of flavor. This dish is a classic and the flavor punch will keep you coming back for another tortilla-full.
This fruity and refreshing drink is so simple to make. Just puree cubed, seeded watermelon with a little water in a blender, until smooth. Then, pour over a mixture of muddled mint leaves, sugar and lime slices. Best of all, agua fresca (which can be made with a variety of different fruits) pairs perfectly with just about any Mexican dish you’re serving up.
