Panuchos

Panuchos

Panuchos

Another of the delicious food from Yucatan, these are called panuchos

Its a tortilla filled with beans, that then is fried.
Then on top of it, people add any of the various typical food of Yucatan.

The one to the left has "cochinita pibil", that is pork in spices added with purple onion.

The middle one is "Pavo en Escabeche", which is Turkey prepared in mexican style.

The one to the right, has "Relleno Negro", or "Black Filling", which is Turkey with a black sauce. They usually add a bit of boiled egg.

They are delicious, but for sure, lots of fat there.

But one can eat three, and then go run 45 kilometers.

Lime Soup - Sopa de Lima

Lime Soup

One of the culinarie wonders of Yucatecan Food, is the lime soup.

It might look like a simple chicken soup with a few tortillas, but don't let the appereance fool you, it tastes absolutely nothing like it.
I do not know the secret recipe for the lime soup, but it kind of goes like this.
In abowl of water, the pieces of chicken flesh, onion, garlic, herbs, and very importan the lime pulp, is put to boil
Then you add the fried tortilla bits, and bits of avocado before serving along with the lime skin
And when to serve, you add and extra bit of lime juice.

Absolutely forbidden to put lemon on it.

It taste yummi, delicious.

Guacamole is a mexican Food made of Avocado.

Some people add vinegar to it, some cream, some mayonnaise.
