Mexican food is all about sharing. It doesn’t matter if the menu includes simple dishes or complex and lengthy ones, we are our happiest when we get to share what we have put so much love into.
From breakfast to dinner, we gather, we share, we chat, and we enjoy. Tables in Mexican homes are the centre stage, the place to stop for a moment and connect. Food becomes the bonding element that brings families together and that transforms friends into our chosen family.
These are some of our favourite recipes to show that sharing is caring. Make ahead, set the table and let everyone be part of it.
The Classics - Tacos
Even when they can take a bit of preparation ahead, once everything is ready, you can sit down and enjoy with your family or friends. Just place everything at the table and let everyone help themselves. Tacos should be part of team-building experiences! These are our favourite taco recipes that are perfect to share:
Chile Colorado
This dish is fantastic! Even when tradition tells us that it is best enjoyed with a side of rice and beans, the truth is that tacos made with it are amazing and they will please everyone. Toppings are easy to prepare so you can enjoy them without any extra work. You can find the recipe here.
Cochinita
One of our most famous exports and for the right reasons! Cochinita is a beautiful dish that needs very little to become everyone’s favourite. Place it in the middle of the table and watch it disappear before your own eyes. Find the recipe here.
Chilorio
A slightly less known dish but guaranteed to become a favourite to anyone trying it for the first time. Melt in your mouth pork cooked to perfection in an amazing blend of chillies and spices. Don’t let the name fool you, this dish is not spicy but full of flavours! Link to recipe here.
Tinga
Tinga is possibly one of the best examples of a simple dish but so tasty and everyone’s favourite. It goes a long way, is very easy to make and is the best dish to feed a crowd. This is one of the friendliest dishes to make for people new to Mexican food and you can find the recipe here.
Birria
We could just not include birria on this list. An absolute jewel of our Mexican gastronomy. All that time that you’ll be waiting until the beef cooks to tender perfection will be rewarded with the tastiest most beautiful dish we have. Super easy sides, all there is to do once is ready is to enjoy! Link to recipe here.
