On a recent trip to Mexico I dined out on Tacos a lot. I discovered that they could come in a variety of forms- sometimes with a soft tortilla, sometimes a crispier shell and sometimes wrapped. I never knew which version I was going to get, but they were all delicious. I particularly enjoyed them in a small cafe in Merida- it looked nothing from the outside but the Tacos definitely were up there with the best. These are from ” The Road to Mexico” by Rick Stein and make a great starter.
A recent trip to Mexico introduced me to a much wider range of Mexican food than I had previously sampled. These fried tortilla chips with salsa and cheese are a great way to use up stale tortillas which are cut in triangles then fried or baked . They are known as totopos and frequently appeared on breakfast buffets. This recipe is for the green sauce version and I found it in ” The Road to Mexico” by Rick Stein. It would usually be served with a spoonful or two of refried beans.
