What is the essence of Mexican cuisine? Why is it rarely seen in the Chinese market?

When it comes to Mexican food, I guess most people's first reaction is tacos. In my opinion, one of the essences of Mexican cuisine is collision and fusion? , not only the cultural collision and fusion, but also contains the dietary collision and fusion. Because of the increasing number of immigrants, European culture and Mexico's native culture continue to collide and slowly fusion, so that today's Mexican cuisine.

The characteristics of Mexican cuisine

The most common staples of Mexican cuisine are corn, potatoes, with chili peppers and minced meat, and a blend of foreign spices, through the inherent Mexican practices to make it a delicious food. For example, the common Mexican tortilla, usually made of cornmeal, can be rolled in a variety of things, such as chopped vegetables, minced meat, sauce, rice, etc., with the local delicious beer, you can get the ultimate taste buds enjoyment.

The reason why Mexican food is rare in the Chinese market

In fact, there are quite a few popular shopping centers in big cities nowadays, but compared to Korean food, Japanese food, American steak and burger, Mexican food is still very rare. The fundamental reason is still because of the differences in domestic food culture and public taste. And usually the domestic Mexican food is not authentic, often after the improvement, but it is difficult to taste the authentic flavor. Mexican food is more popular in Europe, the fundamental reason is that the Mexican cuisine itself is a blend of European culture.

What are the common Mexican dishes

The more familiar Mexican dishes in the current market are quesadillas, nachos, eggnog, guacamole, fajitas and so on. For example, tortilla chips are usually served as a pre-dinner snack, allowing diners to alleviate their hunger a little while waiting for their entrees; and guacamole can be a different experience when paired with a different entree. In fact, Mexican food in terms of price, is not too expensive, but due to the lack of introduction of the country at present, so only a few Mexican restaurants prices are high, which may also be one of the factors that make Mexican food difficult to popularize in the country.
