Mexican cuisine is a fusion of different cuisines. The basis of Mexican cuisine lies in the Aztec culture. Later on, the Spanish kitchen became the big influence. Also, the French kitchen has had treatment on Mexican cuisine, and especially in the field of some cooking methods and preparations of sauces and bread.
Tortilla dishes occupy an important place in Mexican cuisine. You can see these in different forms, such as a burrito, enchilada, taco, tortilla chips etc. The tortilla is a kind of pancake, made from corn or wheat flour. The Mexican cuisine is best known for its spicy dishes and sauces and there is no lying when we say that the food is perhaps one of the spiciest. This culture is crazy about the chili pepper; the sweet and the spicy variant. It is therefore not surprising that this pepper can be found in almost every dish; if you do not see it, you can taste it. It is one of the most important ingredients of a Mexican dish and also the most representative of Mexican cuisine. There is no Mexican dish without chili.
