When do people eat Enchiladas in Mexico?

When they are hungry for an inexpensive, savory, hot dish made [typically] with corn tortillas wrapped around stewed chicken (or other stewed meat) and topped with a tomato-based sauce. They may choose to have cheese melted on the top, and could add dollops of guacamole and sour cream. I like to eat eat enchiladas with sides of spanish-style rice, refired beans and home-made corn chips.

What were three reasons that Teotihuacan was destroyed?

Although Teotihuacan is wrongly believed to be founded by the Aztecs, it was built by a more ancient, unnamed civilization between 400 and 150 BC. By the time the Aztecs founded their capital city of Tenochtitlan in 1325 AD, Teotihuacan had been already abandoned -- actually, for almost 200 years, since around 1150 AD. Teotihuacan is the name given to the city by the Aztecs, meaning "city of the gods". Current archaeological studies point to famine, war or even climate change as the main culprit of its destruction.

Now, if you are asking about the city of Tenochtitlan (capital of the Aztec Empire), the main reason is war and an epidemic of smallpox brought by Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, which decimated the city from 200,000 to just a couple of thousand by 1521.

Is Pancho Villa an American hero?

Answer 1: Pancho Villa was a Mexican Revolutionary General and hero to his people. Since his raid on Columbus in 1916, Villa was neither friend nor hero to the US.

Answer 2:

Yes.

Pancho Villa is known world wide, and treated like a hero everywhere. He is most commonly known in the United States as a hero by United States Citizens (Americans).

It might be really awkward that Pancho Villa murdered Americans, and still, Americans now days love him and treat him like a hero.

The reason for that is that Pancho Villa was like a Mexican Robinhood. he stole from the middle class, and the rich and gave it to the poor. He also rebelled against evil people in Mexico and always protected Mexico from American attacks.
