Mexicans and their food.

There is many popular types of Mexican food Fajitas, Tacos, Burrito and Guacamole. One thing most if not all these dishes have in common is that their original recipe is spicy. Mexican food was first discovered in the 16th century when the Spanish invaded the Aztec empire. Mexican dishes have many ingredients in common, the main ingredients used in most Mexican dishes are corn, beans, avocados, tomatoes, chili peppers and rice. Chili peppers play a large part in Mexican food. Chili's and salt were so important to the people of  Mexico that during special religious fasts they could eat them. Most of the meats eaten today with Mexican food was added by the Spanish when they took over the Aztec empire. Today, much traditional Mexican food is prepared the same way but with different meats.
