Food is an extremely important part of Mexican culture, history and tradition. I wish I could tell you about ALL the food in Mexico, but unfortunately we only have time to learn about one dish. In Tlaxcala, the state that I live in, a lot of food is really fresh and often made right in front of you! You can see the whole cooking process before you eat the food, which is really special and interesting to watch.
The food I tried is called a gordita. You can eat gorditas for lunch or breakfast. This day we ate it for breakfast at a small restaurant near where I live. Gorditas are a popular food in this region, and you can find them pretty easily. The dish is a little bit spicy, but I enjoy the flavor a lot and am excited to eat them again! Maybe one day I can make them myself, but I would definitely need someone to teach me how.
I was hungry before I ate my gordita, so I felt very satisfied after I finished. The tortilla is really delicious, especially because it is made fresh. I saw how they used a machine to press the dough into a circular shape. The sauce is flavorful, but pretty spicy. The cheese is creamy and matches well with the taste of everything else. I was really happy and enjoyed this new dish.
