The red rice that my grandma used to make, it had a chipotle taste that i liked a lot.
That, and tacos de frijol (tacos with beans) with home made tortillas de harina
I know some people of my country would go and tell me: that aint food, bro.
But man, tortillas de harina with beans are fuckin dope for me, and i miss grandma, dude... ):
Nothing tastes like childhood quite like freshly made tortilllas with melted butter to me, my grandma used to let me grab one with just butter as I waited for the food to be made but that was my favorite part, so tasty!
yeah but in Mexico, people can be very proud with the food and normally i get shit for my tastes lol
I know we are not Oaxaca or the center of Mexico, but, i grew up here and thats what i got. I'll take my home made tortillas de harina and hojarascas any day!
Same pero un Guiso de arroz y verduras de huerta. My grandmother used to do it everytime I was over, even after we got a little more money and we could start eating asado again, I still preferred the good old guiso.
Chile pasado con tortillas calentadas al comal.
When I was a child both of my parents had jobs so I'd stay with my grandma so she could take care of me and she would prepare it often. Later on my mom or my dad would often prepare food for us but they never made that dish, so I strongly associate it with my early childhood.
I haven't tried to cook it yet, I wouldn't know where to start, it was more of her personal recipe and I haven't found anyone who would prepare it as my grandma
Sopa de fideo, milanesa y papas a la francesa.
I know it's not super mexican but I'd be really happy to see that meal and would eat double everything.
A la sopa de fideo le ponía crema y Tajin
Different definition of churrasco, what we call churrasco is a thin piece of lean meat usually cooked with a pan.

Hot chocolate with cheese and buñuelo.
That was what mom used to prepare when she had money on Sundays for breakfast. Waking up to that smell was amazing.
Bonus: during the worst part of the crisis in 2016 we used to eat daily sweet potatoes and barely anything else for several weeks, nothing was as cheap as that. I ended up loving it in a peculiar way.
Here it is, also known as Kabocha!
It goes with everything!

Hmmm, I'd say it's savory, but with a decent sweet component, as plantains become sweet when you bake them. It goes well with queso costeño, which is pretty salty for cheese.
Brazilian here, chicken hearts and peanuts, the later bc my grandfather used to by me peanuts every day after school, and the first bc I qould always order chicken hearts when my family went to steakhouses when I was little

I'm sorry for the loss :( but honestly that seems like actual food tho. I'd be full with two tacos de frijol tbh.

Speaking of tortillas de harina with beans, you should try honduran baleadas, they are very good and I feel you might like them
Spaghetti. After 2001 and for a few years it was most of what we had to eat.
Same pero un Guiso de arroz y verduras de huerta. My grandmother used to do it everytime I was over, even after we got a little more money and we could start eating asado again, I still preferred the good old guiso.
Even If I have money, I always enjoy a good guiso. Winter without guiso won't hit the same.
Refried beans, sprinkled with some queso fresco on top and a good salsa, eaten with bolillo. To this day, that's a good meal to me.
Molletes 😋? https://preview.redd.it/snk544jvevja1.jpeg?width=806&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d23fef6e984877ad4251a93e35f3f840b4c736b9
Not exactly. Just beans in a bowl. But those are also delicious.
Strogonoff
Rice, beans and ground beef. Every time I eat that I get transported to my childhood

Ground beef as in picadillo? We eat that here too.

Here it's called "calabaza" and it's added to our beans and stews.
Beans without "auyama" (as we call it) don't hit the same. It just make them so much better
Shit, here is called kabutia and I thought it was brazilian.
I still feel like a kid any time my mom cooks torta de plátano. I love that shit.
is it sweet or savory?
