Mealtimes in each home will differ depending on the country you live in and your traditions. However, when it comes to a traditional Mexican meal, you’ll notice that they eat considerably lighter than normal. As a result, instead of a heavy dinner meal, you may expect a selection of light snack dishes. A typical Mexican family dinner will consist of simple dishes such as quesadillas, tortillas, tamales, sweet bread, or tacos. But again, this differs per household so you can still have your fair share of enchiladas, rice, and more.
With that said, I have here 15 delicious traditional Mexican dinner recipes the whole family will surely love!
