Welcome to the /ck/ challenge: MEXICAN INSPIRED!

>JUST IN TIME FOR DIAS DE LOS MUERTOS

That's right: MEXICAN INSPIRED.
What does that mean? Well, if you can't figure this shit out you should probably stay away from the knives.

*******
Dishes will be scored on the following areas, so keep that in mind.

-Presentation: The appearance of items on the plate; plating skills
-Originality: Creativity in composing the dish
-Appeal: How appetizing the food looks/whether or not the dish appeals to your personal taste as a voter
-Challenge Goals: How closely the entry followed the challenge goal(s)

The distinction between Presentation and Appeal: If someone submits an artfully arranged but burnt steak as an entry, it may score high in Presentation but low in appeal.
*******

Remember people, timestamp and unique identifiers. Stop forgetting damn you.

Please suggest as you go, 'cos I'm gathering suggestions like some sort of hoarder.

Results of last month will be posted soon, so keep your eyes open.

I wish Numbaz would've gone with the whole suggestion which was Mexican-inspired cooking that's NOT served with tortillas. I'm still sticking to my guns and scoring low on goal and creativity any entry that just gets food X and puts it on/in/with a tortilla. Unless the tortilla is homemade, maybe. Also low score if you just get taco fixings and serve it on a bowl of rice.

I've had titiyas, both the sweet and plain flour types but never had the corn ones. Both the ones I had tasted really rather nice. Had the plain one with Guamish beef ceviche (pretty much the same thing as Mexican ceviche... just with lean beef mince instead of chopped fish plus the addition of shredded coconut).

What's the name of those sweet tamales Chamorros make with masa harina and coconut milk stuffed with banana and steamed in banana leaf (rather than corn husk)? I tried googling it a while back but couldn't find it.
That shit was delicious.

>> No.9495911

>>9495890
Just googled again and apigigi' (with the apostrophe, yes) looks similar, but that's made with cassava flour rather than masa harina. I did find Chamorro red tamales made with masa harina and achiote, stuffed with pulled chicken, though, while googling 'chamorro tamales.'
Those people are basically Aztec/Mayan/Polynesian/Asian hybrids and so is their cuisine. You wouldn't expect it.

Been a while since I had it, so not 100% sure but IIRC, it's beef marinated in lime juice and stinky fish sauce then dressed with Asian basil (in place of coriander), shallot (in place of spring onion), sliced chillies and crushed toasted peanuts.
The Viet one I've had is just thinly shaved raw beef served on a communal plate, topped with basil, shallot and crushed toasted peanuts. Each person gets an individual dish of vinegar mixed with fish sauce and sugar. You nab a slice with chopsticks, dip in vinegar and consume. I've seen individual portions served in a bowl over broken rice or bun and diners pour the dish of vinegar over it all themselves tableside. As with the Cambo one, it's been quite some time since I've last had it, so I might be misremembering this one, too.

Hayzoos wept.

All you need for Mexican food is tortillas. Grill up some chicken chunks, onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms, and throw them between a couple of tortillas with enough cheese to clog the arteries of a Clydesdale, then serve with sour cream and tomato salsa and maybe some whack-a-mole if you wants to be fancy, and you gots your entry.

>implying you have to use cornflour to cook mexi food
while enchiladas suizas are usually made with maize tortillas, wheat tortillas are pretty common for it too. like 60/40 i would guess maize:wheat
its a very uro-meets-mexi dish as it's made with bechamel sauce (or evaporated milk, if you don't know how to make bechamel), chiles, onion, green tomato (if you can't find tomatillo), chicken, cheese (whatever type you like; mexican-style "manchego" is a popular choice in MX, but abroad, you can use young gouda) and wheat tortillas.
there are other dishes based on wheat instead of maize, too, but this one is pretty tasty, easy to make and (if you use red chiles instead of green) pretty to look at so it is what I would recommend
google translate a recipe and look for "tortillas de trigo" or "tortillas de harina" in the ingredients list
