Hola! Are you ready to turn up the heat and start trying your hand at making Mexican food?
If so, look no further than @mexicoinmykitchen, a fantastic Instagram account that’s a resource for any cook looking to put a little Mexican flair in their repertoire.
Mely Martinez is the genius behind this account, which shows Mexican food lovers and novices alike the tricks and recipes that are crucial to making a real, authentic Mexican meal.
While many chefs that make Mexican food have never lived or traveled throughout Mexico, Martinez is from the city of Tampico in Mexico’s Gulf Coast. She gives her followers a delicious tour through her native cuisine and shows us how to prepare the dishes that she grew up with.
I would venture to say that most of us are familiar with Mexican staples such as tacos. However, a look into @mexicoinmykitchen shows us that Mexican cuisine is much more diverse than the things that we are already familiar with.
For example, I had never heard of this plate, called “tetelas,” until I started following Martinez. Doesn’t it look delicious, though?
