I've never eaten real Mexican food due to living in Yurop.
I want to try and make something at home, maybe like a soup or a stew. Do you have any good recipes? Preferable with ingredients that aren't too hard to find.

>> No.6521099

make everything you'd normally make for tacos then use soft corn torillas instead of those fucking awful hard ones.
then drink lemonade with the hottest pepper you can find in it and take a laxative. the flaming shits will give you the final push toward authentic spic food.

I'm sorry but no, you've never tasted real mexican food, most recipes are shitty recipes made by the same type of people who aren't mexican. I'm in a boarder town surrounded by mexicans and the food is great, I've tried to recreate dishes using many recipes, they always come out retarded, the mexicans will never give you an actual recipe. I can make a few basic things that come out "authentic" tasting but it's because I know what I want it to taste like and it takes trial and error to get there. I would give you my recipes but there is a chance you are a britbong and I would never take the chance on helping a brit eat good food, they deserve to eat bland filth for all eternity.

if you can get jalepenos, avocados, and mexican cilantro then you could potentially get close but the spices and dry rubs are pretty hard to get right.

Many people refer crudo to italian sashimi and gimbap to korean sushi (vice versa). The fact that it is eaten raw and not cured like ceviche gives it a resemblance to sashimi and many people use that as a reference to other people that want to try it for the first time.

Do you want authentic Mexican or authentic Tex Mex? Because there's a big difference.

I think that tacos and burritos are the easiest things to make in either cuisine. Just tortilla, meat, onions, and cilantro. Maybe some hot sauce or salsa. Super simple and delicious. Tex Mex tacos are often ground beef, but you can use carnitas, chorizo (not Spanish chorizo which is more like salami and less like a sausage), grilled chicken, pulled pork, pretty much anything.

>> No.6524078

>>6524056
The thing they have in common is the raw aspect of the dish. The difference between sashimi is that there is a marinade in the dish, and it is not meant as curing process (unlike ceviche).

So sashimi is the first thing that comes to mind when you want to describe this dish

My suggestion is to get those ancho chiles. Once you have them you can pretty much start your way onto making multiple dishes with anchos. Moles are probably Mexico's most important dishes, but they are a bit complex.

Here's a dish similar to mole but less time consuming. It has your typical sweet, savory and spicy Mexican flavors without the hassle.

I didn't feel like reading all of the posts and I'm not sure if OP is a faggot and just ignored the thread he started but for anybody else that cares, there's a few basic things you can do to make "authentic" Mexican food.

Make your own refried beans. It takes time but it's worth it. Pinto beans (if you don't know what they are, look it up), onion, garlic salt. Cook until tender. Caramalize onions. Fry cooked beans in onions. Add salt if needed. Done.

Use fresh cilantro not dried.

Use corn tortillas. You CAN substitute flour if you have no other choice but corn is better.

Learn to make various types of Mexican rice. You have the typical rice: Rice, tomato sauce, cummin, chicken stock,. Then you have the corn rice, which is just white rice with salt and corn. And sometimes you have rice with tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions.

Pico de gallo gets put on almost everything and it's very easy to make. Diced tomato, onion, cilantro, and lime juice.

If you want it hot just add pickled jalapeños or your choice of hot peppers.

Drink cheap, shitty beer with every meal.
