Carne asada: Grilled beef, chopped or sliced for tacos, burritos and plates. Skirt, flank and other relatively thin cuts are common, with seasoning ranging from little more than salt to marinades containing citrus, garlic or other ingredients. Carne asada is particularly associated with northern Mexico and is also the name for the social tradition of gathering around a grill for a carne asada cookout. On this menu as: Pechuga Asada · Asada · Pollo Asado.
Fajitas: Grilled strips of meat served with tortillas and accompaniments, often arriving at U.S. restaurants on a dramatically sizzling metal platter with onions and peppers. Fajitas developed in the ranching and border culture of Texas and northern Mexico and became a Tex-Mex restaurant staple. The name comes from faja, referring to the strip or belt-like cut associated with skirt steak. Chicken, shrimp and other versions are now common. Alambre is a different Mexican dish that may scratch a similar itch: chopped grilled meat with peppers and onions, often with bacon and melted cheese. On this menu as: Alambre de Res o Pollo · Alambre · Alambre de Camaron.
Quesadillas: A tortilla folded around a filling and cooked on a griddle or comal. Cheese is standard in many regions, but Mexico City famously complicates the definition: there, a quesadilla may need cheese specifically requested. Fillings can include squash blossom, huitlacoche, mushrooms, meat and many other ingredients. Flour-tortilla quesadillas are particularly common in northern Mexico and the United States. A mulita, associated with northern Baja and Southern California taquerías, sandwiches meat and melted cheese between tortillas. On this menu as: Quesadillas de Maiz · Quesadillas de Harina · Quesadilla Alambre de Camarón.
Aguas frescas & horchata: Aguas frescas are chilled drinks made by blending or infusing water with fruit, grains, flowers or seeds and sweetening to taste. Common flavors include jamaica, made from hibiscus; tamarindo, made from tamarind; and seasonal fruits such as melon, pineapple and cucumber with lime. Horchata is commonly rice-based in Mexican restaurants and flavored with cinnamon, although horchata recipes vary across Mexico and the Spanish-speaking world. On this menu as: Horchata · Jamaica · Aguas Frescas Naturales.
Chorizo: Mexican chorizo is generally a fresh, seasoned sausage rather than the firm cured sausage associated with Spain. Pork is common, along with dried chiles, vinegar and spices. The casing is often removed before cooking so the sausage can crumble into eggs, potatoes, tacos or melted cheese. Longaniza is a related sausage with regional variations of its own, while green chorizo is particularly associated with Toluca and the State of Mexico. On this menu as: Chorizo · Huevos con Chorizo · Chorizo con Papa.
Huevos rancheros & breakfasts: Huevos rancheros generally consist of fried eggs served over lightly fried tortillas with a cooked tomato-and-chile salsa and beans. Huevos divorciados, or "divorced eggs," separate two eggs with different sauces, usually red and green. Huevos a la mexicana combine eggs with tomato, onion and green chile. Machaca con huevo mixes eggs with shredded dried or cooked beef and is particularly associated with northern Mexico. On this menu as: Huevos Rancheros · Huevos con Jamón · Huevos con Chorizo.
