Mexican Street Food


I didn't see it coming,but they are here now, and multiplying like "Gremlins" in water. Are they all good? well...there is always one in the middle...
May be due to the ferocious British appetite for spicy food, Mexican Street Food ticks all the boxes...
A little info for beginners:
Tacos-Soft corn tortillas
Tostadas-Crispy corn tortillas
Quesasillas- Toasted flour tortillas
Mexican food is all about Salsas made with tomatoes, fresh herbs (lots of coriander), chillies, avocado, corn (used to make the tortillas and also present fresh in the salsas, few, constantly used ingredients.
Meats include, slow cooked pork, grilled chicken and beef, although fish is rarely seen.

I've tried Churros, photo on the left, a kind of doughnut , fried in oil and served with a rich chocolate sauce.
After that indulgence, I will need 5 weeks in a gym, to get rid of the Cholesterol I have accumulated in 2 minutes.
