Maybe I’m writing this post because it’s dinnertime and I’m hungry, or maybe just because I miss Mexican food.

Either way, I thought today I would share with you my top 10 Mexican Foods (in no particular order).

My Top 10 Mexican Foods

1. Tacos al pastor - a typical taco you’ll find in taquerias everywhere in Mexico. It’s pork meat marinated and garnished with pineapple, onions, cilantro, and salsa.
2. Enchiladas - Janell’s favorite Mexican food is enchiladas. She likes them with green salsa, and I like “Enchiladas Suizas”, which have cheese on them.
3. Chilaquiles - mostly a breakfast food, it’s hardened tortillas with salsa, onions, and (sometimes) chicken.
4. Pozole - A delicious soup with pork or chicken and hominy.
5. Tortilla soup - tomato based soup with strips of tortillas.
6. Alambre con queso - Janell’s favorite thing to order at the taco joint, alambre is a mixture of beef, pork, cheese, and peppers that is served on a tortilla.
7. Arrachera - a delicious cut of beef grilled to perfection. Sometimes, they are selling this outside the grocery store where they’ll grill it up for you.
8. Tres leche cake - Super moist and tasty cake with milk poured over it.
9. Flan - Flan is flan. And it’s yummy.
10. Tacos de pollo - “dorados” are delicious, hard fried tacos with chicken inside.

Hungry yet? I sure am. I post often about food. Here are some videos I’ve made about Mexican food:
