Aware of the circumstances the world is facing, we had to take some actions to guarantee the security of our beloved ones, activities like staying home and avoid close contact. If you’re doing it, we give you all out thumbs up! Thanks to these actions, Mexico has reduced the Coronavirus’ infection-ratio.
Yet, we are still conscious that some daily activities, such as cooking, have become more complicated. As restaurants closed their doors, people had to either rediscover their inner cook or look for new inspiration to set a different table every day. Whether you are one or the other, we are sure that you will love these 3 Mexican classic dishes.
What to cook during the Coronavirus quarantine?
1.- Enchiladas jaliscienses
Let’s begin with an authentic Mexican breakfast-dish, enchiladas jaliscienses, also known as enchiladas tapatias. It is a set of tacos showered with a dry-poblano-pepper sauce made by blending the pepper without seeds and veins, onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Once those ingredients are perfectly mixed, you must heat a pan with little oil and fry the mixture. Then, on another pan, you must slightly fry the tortillas. Be sure not to brown them. After, you only need to dip the tortillas in the sauce, fill them with queso fresco and roll them to turn a simple taco into a gorgeous enchilada. Finally, some sliced onion, lettuce, and sour cream on the top will make your taste buds travel to Mexico without leaving home.
2.- Chicken in Pink chocolate-sauce
The old-favorite Mexican mole becomes even better. After finding inspiration in the family recipes of Guerrero (a state in Mexico), chef Eduardo Marin created a beautiful dish that represents all the endemic flavors and aromas of Tequila. “This dish isn’t just visually attractive but delicious. The reason behind its success is the delicate balance of three main ingredients: beet, chipotle pepper, and white chocolate,” – claimed the chef.
3.- Centenario’s beef-filet in aged-tequila sauce
Perhaps we do have an inner caveman, after all. That’s the only way to understand the feeling we got when tasting all the flavors, textures, and spices of this delicious grilled filet. Is your mouth already watering? Now, let’s shower that picture with a mild tequila-sauce and put some sweet potato puree aside to create the tastiest steak ever.
