Growing up in the US, most people I met usually assumed that Mexican food only consisted of burritos and nachos. I suppose that's because the diversity of real Mexican food never fully arrived to the States. However, whoever visits Mexico will soon realise that the American notion of Mexican food as being greasy and a cause of gas is completely false. Mexico has 31 states, each with its own staple ingredients and traditional cuisines. Not to mention that many crops that we use every day originate in Mexico and the diversity of ingredients is astounding. So here are a few photos of some real Mexican dishes! I will be constantly adding more images to this post!
