Mexican cuisine is derived from the fusion of the cuisines of the indigenous peoples of Mexico and European conquerors, in particular the Spaniards. Thanks to them, rice appeared in the country, as well as dishes dominated by the meat of domestic animals: beef, pork, chicken, goat and sheep meat. Traditional dishes in Mexico are prepared with the addition of such products as corn, beans, avocados, tomatoes and chili peppers. By the way, Mexican cuisine is included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. Especially popular in the country are dishes with lots of spices. Real Mexicans believe that the sharper the dish, the better. As nowhere else in the world, they cook delicious quesadilla - corn tortilla or wheat tortilla, tomato, white onion and chili sauce called Pico de Gallo, America's favorite burrito and hot fragrant fajitas. As well as throughout Latin America, guacamole is very popular in Mexico - an avocado snack with lime or lemon juice. For dessert, Mexican chefs prepare coconut cocadas, candied fruit buns, spicy chocolate toffee.
