It is no secret that chilies are a staple of traditional Mexican cuisine. What few people know is that Mexicans cook a lot with a delicious variety of dried chilies.
Chocolate is native to Mexico. The Aztecs prepared it in drinks and dishes by combining it with different spices, a tradition that has lived on to this day. The most representative example of the use of chocolate in a main dish is mole poblano, an unsweetened chocolate sauce made from a mixture of various chiles, nuts, tomatoes and spices.
It is little known that soups and stews also play an important role in the Mexican kitchen. Their variety is characterized by regional peculiarities and is at least as extensive as the Mexican territory. Here we offer you a simple recipe from Central Mexico, where stews are usually prepared with chilies, tomatoes and pork.
