    Introduction

    Mexican cooking has a rich heritage that begins at the dawn of civilization. More than 7,000 years ago, at the same time the Aztec people were designing intricate calendar systems and building astounding pyramids, they also were holding festivals accompanied by flavorful dishes. Dine on lush tropical fruits, bean-stuffed chili peppers, spicy tomato sauces, grilled corn, honeyed sweet potatoes, and cocoa-crusted turkey, and you find yourself in the land of the Aztecs.

    Yes, the ancient Mexican diet was both flavorful and varied. In fact, many of the foods we take for granted today were first used as food by the Aztec cultures. Turkey, mangoes, corn, pineapples, peanuts, beans, squash, avocadoes, cocoa, vanilla, chilies, and sweet potatoes, for example, were all common elements in Aztec dishes. Even foods we identify with European countries — such as Italy and tomatoes — were first cultivated by the Aztecs.

    Mexican cooking is also known for its combinations. It’s a rare dish that uses just one or two ingredients. Meats, for example, are marinated then drenched in sauces containing dozens of ingredients. Fish may be broiled or baked but it is always topped with a unique sauce. Even something as simple as a salad of melon balls will have a tart sauce draped over it.

    From basic appetizers to full entrees to succulent desserts, we’ve got it all for you right here. So forget plain old tacos and burritos, and get ready for fifty of the most flavorful, tantalizing, and delicioso recipes that the Mexican culture has to offer!
