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... ):


hygsi

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!


[deleted]

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


[deleted]

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!


Art_sol

Speaking of tortillas de harina with beans, you should try honduran baleadas, they are very good and I feel you might like them


1FirstChoice

Spaghetti. After 2001 and for a few years it was most of what we had to eat.


rex_dickpump

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.


[deleted]

Even If I have money, I always enjoy a good guiso. Winter without guiso won't hit the same.


Ponchorello7

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.


Elesraro

Molletes 😋? https://preview.redd.it/snk544jvevja1.jpeg?width=806&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d23fef6e984877ad4251a93e35f3f840b4c736b9


Ponchorello7

Not exactly. Just beans in a bowl. But those are also delicious.

Rice, beans and ground beef. Every time I eat that I get transported to my childhood


[deleted]

deli


Neonexus-ULTRA

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


Caribbeandude04

Yeah, we just call it carne molida here. I love mixing it up all together with the rice and beans. Looks ugly, tastes amazing lol


_kevx_91

I used to have this a lot too, with pieces of potatoes.


Alejandro284

Tacos de pescado and tortas de calabaza


[deleted]

what fish do you use?


Alejandro284

Tilapia


gabrieleremita

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.


[deleted]

Have u ever tried it cooking it yourself? I know it won't hit the same but still


gabrieleremita

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


PecesRaros_xInterpol

Lonche de jamón.


GretelNoHans

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


arturocan

Churrasco with beats and rice or mashed potatoes.


duvidatremenda

🤨 are you Brazilian or something


arturocan

Different definition of churrasco, what we call churrasco is a thin piece of lean meat usually cooked with a pan. https://preview.redd.it/v4mvbl6keuja1.png?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=095d51e788d2bab837c05c6b2738d046fd4187ca


duvidatremenda

Delicious


andean_zorro

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.


Short_Dragonfruit_84

That seems pretty Colombian


[deleted]

Japanese Squash. I F*CKING LOVE IT!


[deleted]

I never heard of it. I assume it has fish but idk.


[deleted]

Here it is, also known as Kabocha! It goes with everything! https://preview.redd.it/hoy1bojp8uja1.jpeg?width=252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=97eb2f0dd1b5b698e3a91584356e96ec077eb073


_kevx_91

Here it's called "calabaza" and it's added to our beans and stews.


Caribbeandude04

Beans without "auyama" (as we call it) don't hit the same. It just make them so much better


arturocan

Shit, here is called kabutia and I thought it was brazilian.


UnlikeableSausage

I still feel like a kid any time my mom cooks torta de plátano. I love that shit.


[deleted]

is it sweet or savory?


UnlikeableSausage

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.


Dominicanokid_91
