What ways do people in Mexico cook corn?

Answer 1

Mexican cuisine has maize (corn) as main ingredient for most of its dishes; it is cooked in every way possible. Some examples are provided:

South-Central Mexico is the region where pozole (from Nahuatl pozolli) was first created by Aztec people. It is a a beef, pork or chicken soup with corn grains, avocado and some spices such as onion, radish, lettuce, oregano, pepper and salt.

The well-known Mexican tortilla is made of corn. Tortillas are a thin flatbread made from finely ground corn flour; these are commonly used for tacos de guisado (corn or wheat tortillas wrapped around a meat stew). It is worth noting tacos served on food chains outside of Mexico have nothing to do with the original dish.

Northern Mexico is home to large-sized corn tortillas called sobaqueras (more than 25 inches in diameter) to eat beef meat, such as the arrachera.

Street corn is basically a grilled corn slathered in a creamy chili and lime-spiked sauce with cheese.

Sweet Mexican cornbread is also very popular in Mexico; it includes corn flour, milk and eggs; it is of the same variety found in the U.S. Southwest.
