Flautas

You might know this dish as a “taquito”. They’re traditionally called flautas in Mexico, and are delightful little rolls of flavor! The dish consists of a fresh tortilla rolls up with a filling inside. Traditional fillings consist of chicken, beef, or cheese. The tortilla is then fried and often served with sour cream, guacamole and salsa. These make a perfect addition to any party – so add these to your next fiesta menu! Here’s a great chicken flauta with avocado cream recipe from Sunny Anderson.

Al Pastor

Al Pastor resembles the popular Lebanese Shawarma dish. The recipe was developed after immigrants from Lebanon arrived in Central Mexico. Pork is marinated in a series of bold flavors and slowly cooked on a vertical rotisserie. Once the meat is cooked, you’ll find it in a series of dishes like tacos, gringas, tortas, and alambres. Check out this authentic Al Pastor recipe from Jeff Mauro.
