FAQ
Vegetables play an important role in Mexican cuisine. Common vegetables include zucchini, cauliflower, corn, potatoes, spinach, Swiss chard, mushrooms, jitomate (red tomato), and green tomato. Other traditional vegetable ingredients include chili pepper, huitlacoche (corn fungus), huauzontle, and nopal (cactus pads).
Many Mexican recipes are naturally vegetarian, from the chile rellenos of Puebla to elote, that cheesy grilled corn you'll find on streets around the country. Other vegetarian Mexican foods include enchiladas, quesadillas, tamales, sopa de tortilla, tostadas and flautas.
Vegetables served with your Mexican meal should not be simply a filler of space on the plate, but a true enhancement to the rest of the food. My personal favorite vegetable medley for Mexican food contains zucchini, onion, corn, and poblano peppers.
