Chocolate, chili, vanilla, corn, beans, squash, and cactus are some of the foods grown by the Maya & Aztecs in Mexico.
The base for Mexican cuisine is the tortilla. Mexicans fill tortillas with different types of meat or beans to make tacos and enchiladas.
The northern city of Monterrey is famous for its cabrito which is roasted goats. The city of Tequila in the state of Jalisco is famous for drinks made with the maguey, a local agave cactus. The Maya living on the Yucatan peninsula still make a popular dish called cochinita pibil, pork baked in banana leaves.
