MEXICAN The Mexican diet is both flavorful and varied. Dine on lush tropical fruits, bean-stuffed chili peppers, spicy tomato sauces, grilled corn, honeyed sweet potatoes, and cocoa-crusted turkey, and you find yourself in the land of the Aztecs. Best known for its combinations, its a rare that youll find a Mexican dish that uses just one or two ingredients. Meats, for example, are marinated then drenched in sauces containing dozens of ingredients. Fish may be broiled or baked but it is always topped with a unique sauce. Even something as simple as a salad of melon balls will have a tart sauce draped over it.

Now those flavorful dishes of tropical fruits, bean-stuffed chili peppers, spicy tomato sauces, grilled corn, and much more are no longer just a takeout option. The$5 Takeout Cookbook has simplified the recipes, so you can make these delectable dishes in your very own home. So get your taste buds ready, and have a great time in the kitchen cooking these fabulous Mexican takeout recipes!
