Foods of Jalisco
One of the things that Mexico is known for is having the best foods. Jalisco has many traditional foods. Some of them are birria, capirotada, pacholas, carne guisada, empanadas de camaron, enchiladas rojas, pozole, tamales, tortas ahogadas, etc. Most of these foods are familiar to me because they some are also traditional in the part of mexico from where my family is from. The only difference is that some foods may have a different name, and slightly add or remove certain ingredients. Of course that is due to the way that people have their own recipes and the ways that they like to prepare certain dishes. Some of the popular drinks in Jalisco are tequila, jugo de lima, tejuino y el pajarete. Jugo de lima is known to be very easy to make. You just have to get pieces of a lima, water, sugar, and ice and just mix it all together. It is a really refreshing drink that many people like to enjoy. Tejuino is enjoyed with lemon, salt, and powder chili. It only has a small amount of alcohol. El pajarete is a drink that is made with fresh milk straight from cow, powder chocolate, and tequila all mixed together. These drinks are new to me because I have never heard of them, until now. But they have interesting ingredients. I can understand why they are popular. Tequila first originated from Jalisco. It has to come from blue plant named agave,
