Most people my age always salivate to the idea of their grandmothers making that amazing dinner. Mostly all americans can agree on the superb taste of the mexican food, and one of my favorites and most traditional of them all is the famous “Mole sauce”. It is made on special occasions such as birthdays, christmas, new years, and teenagers first communion at the church. This complex dark red spicy/sweet sauce has a legend behind its creation. It is believed in the mexican culture that it was made for the first time at the Convent of Santa Rosa in Puebla early in the colonial period. The convent nuns went into panic one day as they found out the archbishop was paying them a visit and they had nothing to prepare for him due to lack of wealth. The nuns prayed and put together the scraps of ingredients that they had left including chilli peppers, day old bread, nuts, some chocolate and spices. After they killed a turkey, cooked it and served it with the sauce on top, the archbishop fell in love with the dish. They asked the nuns about the dish and they responded truthfully with “I made a Mole” which is the anctient word for mix in spanish. There is also a few variations of this sauce within the mexican community, but the one I will be instructing you how to make is the traditional recipe that my grandmother learned from her grandmother; Mole poblano.

    Firstly, one aspect that is both Mexican and American is the cuisine. The original food for Mexico is very spicy and most of the time very colorful as well. Mexicans use spices, peppers, tomatoes, and cheese in many of the native dishes. They use an assortment of meat: pork, beef, lamb, and chicken. When Mexican restaurants spring up in the United States the food is toned down to appeal to Americans. The Mexican Americans use less spices to make the dishes milder rather than the hot, spicy native food. The food, still Mexican, takes on the likeness of American food. This is shown in the United States by all of the Mexican American restaurants such as Taco Bell. Therefore Mexicans have Americanized their food. “For Hispanics live on this side of the border, where Kraft manufactures Mexican-style Velveeta, and where Jack in the Box serves Fajita Pita.” (Rodriguez 131). Americans complement the Mexican style and the inverse.

Corn tortillas with a bean layer was a common food item and is today. The Mayans started to use salt, chili peppers, and honey in their food once the Aztec empire started to thrive.

  • The Enchilada

    582 Words  | 2 Pages

    The agricultural, regional, and cultural significance of the enchilada dates back thousands of years to the time of the Mayans. The enchilada consists of a filling of meat and cheese rolled in a corn tortilla and covered in chili sauce. The Mayans, who inhabited central Mexico and the Yucatan Peninsula, used what was readily available to them in order to make this unique dish that has since become a cultural phenomenon. Because wheat was not introduced to the Americas prior to European colonization, the indigenous people relied on corn, or maize, as their staple. The Mayan people utilized slash and burn techniques as a way of cultivating the land necessary to grow their crops like corn. There is also evidence to show that people in Mexico were milling corn into corn flour as far back as 9000 years ago. Since corn was so heavily ingrained in the lifestyle of those inhabiting this region, it makes sense why the corn tortilla became the cornerstone of the enchilada. In addition to corn tortillas, European conquerors documented that peppers stood out as a staple in the Mayan diet. Chili peppers which grew in the Yucatan region were incorporated into the enchilada as its flavorful sauce. The Yucatan Peninsula, bordered by The Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, influenced the contents of the enchilada as well. Because of its proximity to the ocean, fish were the first fillings of the enchilada. Later, chicken and beef were
