Hey there amigos, let's taco 'bout these Mexican dishes that really aren't Mexican. The culinary world can be a bit confusing, but fear not, I'm here to guide you through the maze of cuisines.
Number 1: Tex-Mex "Tacos"
If you're getting your Mexican food fix at a fast food joint, chances are you're not getting authentic tacos. Those crunchy, hard shell "tacos" with ground beef and cheddar cheese? Yeah, those are Tex-Mex and not Mexican.
The real deal involves soft corn tortillas with fillings like marinated pork, grilled beef, or spicy shrimp, topped with fresh cilantro and onions. Don't get me wrong, I'll still indulge in a cheesy Tex-Mex taco every now and then, but let's acknowledge that it's not authentic.
Number 2: "Mexican" Pizza
Now, this one might have you scratching your head. What's not Mexican about pizza, you ask? It's not the pizza itself that's the issue, it's the toppings.
When a pizza joint claims to have a "Mexican" pizza, they usually mean it's loaded with ground beef, salsa, and cheese. While those are all delicious ingredients, it's not really representative of Mexican cuisine.
If you want to try a truly Mexican pizza, look for toppings like chorizo, nopales (cactus), and Oaxaca cheese. Or, better yet, skip the pizza altogether and try some authentic Mexican street food.
In Conclusion
There you have it, folks. Two popular dishes that are often mislabeled as Mexican. But don't worry, you can still enjoy these foods even if they're not 100% authentic.
But if you're looking for a real Mexican food experience, seek out the local taqueria or restaurant that specializes in regional dishes. Your taste buds will thank you.
Until next time, adiós!
