What are some traditional, popular Mexican dishes that my Mexican friend will like?
I would check out the Goya section in your grocery store- they have really good products that are used throughout mexico, and since many of the recipes call for a large variety of sometimes expensive spices, it may be best to buy a prepared base- like the Mole below. I have used it, it is as good as I get in some local restaurants. Mole, the traditional Mexican sauce made from a blend of dried chiles, spices, nuts and seeds, is what gives this classic recipe its unique flavor and texture. Goya Mole Poblano, ready-to-use, allows you to prepare this Mexican classic in minutes while maintaining its authentic flavor. Serve up with yellow rice and enjoy! 1 jar (9 oz.) Goya Mole 3 cups water or low sodium chicken broth 1 – 3½ lb. chicken, cut in serving pieces 1 tsp. Goya Adobo with Pepper or to taste 2 tbsp. Goya Corn Oil 1 package (10 oz.) Goya Corn Tortillas, warmed 1 package (8 oz.) Goya Mexican Rice Mix prepared according to package directions 1 ( 16 oz) can Refried Pinto Beans prepared
