What is Mexican Barbacoa?

“Barbacoa” (Spanish) translates to “barbecue” in English. 🙂 Americans think of barbecue as a method of cooking that involves either smoking, grilling, or roasting. However, in Mexico barbacoa refers to a cooking method that involves steaming or slow cooking over an open fire until the meat is fall apart tender.

In Central Mexico, barbacoa very often involves meat such as goat, lamb or mutton, cooked in an underground oven which has been dug into the ground. There is a great article from The Spruce Eats which goes into much more detail about Mexican barbacoa which I highly recommend reading!

I truly am a riceaholic. It may be because I am half-Asian. 🙂 Some of my favorite dishes are rice based: risotto, and biryani to name a couple. I also adore Mexican rice, which is so flavorful and easy to prepare. It is the perfect accompaniment to Mexican food, and I like to serve it alongside fish and chicken as well.

Mexican cuisine is one of the most beloved cuisines around the world. I wanted to discover what Mexicans would eat to celebrate their holiday as Cinco de Mayo was approaching.

Cinco de Mayo

I found out a few interesting things during my research. Cinco de Mayo is not Mexican Independence Day, as I had previously thought. Instead this holiday celebrates the Mexican army’s victory over the French in a battle fought near Puebla City on May 5, 1862, and is mainly celebrated in the Puebla region in Mexico.

I’m absolutely positive there are others out there who were in love with guacamole from the day they were born, like myself.

Guacamole is heaven. 🙂 Many people are enamored with avocado toast…I say guacamole toast!!

You have the choice of buying many numerous ready made guacamole concoctions from your grocery stores. They are good. However, the guacamole that you can make at home is far superior and far less expensive than the ready made at your local grocery store!

Few ingredients…amazing taste and flavor! Avocado, lime, chili, garlic, salt and pepper. That’s it…for one of the most amazing foods in the world. 🙂

Eat guacamole with chips, tacos, tostadas, chalupas, salad, toast. etc. etc. On its own or a dip for veggies it is amazing.

1,000 FOODS TO EAT PROJECT

Guacamole is one of the 1,000 Foods to Eat listed in the book 1,000 Foods To Eat Before You Die, by Mimi Sheraton. It is #12 on my quest to prepare and eat each of the foods listed in the book.
