Recipe details

Recipe details

The recipes in our Mexican cooking kit reflect well-known dishes and bold, vibrant flavor profiles, from smoky chilies to fresh, zesty ingredients. The cultural booklet introduces you to traditions, regional cuisines, and everyday life across Mexico. These 3 popular Mexican recipes serve 4 people. Additional spices and sauces or other add ons are available for larger families.

Vegetarian Enchiladas

Vegetarian Enchiladas

Enchilada comes from the word "enchilar", meaning to season with chili. It's a traditional Mexican corn tortilla dish from the Mayan times (1000 BCE – 1697 CE) - corn tortillas are rolled around a meat and vegetable filling, then topped with a chili sauce.

Fajitas

Fajitas

Fajitas (pronounced fe-hi-tes) is a classic Tex-Mex fusion dish. Traditionally, strips of grilled meat and vegetables are wrapped in soft tortillas and served with sour cream. In our version, we sauté the meat and vegetables in a skillet instead of grilling them. We add some spice mix to the sour cream to create a spiced crema to complement the fajitas. It is a well-balanced and fun dish for family to share - get your hands messy and dig in!

Carnitas Tacos

Carnitas Tacos

Carnitas, translated to "little meats," herald from the Mexican state of Michoacán. Boneless pork shoulder is braised in the oven, or slow cooked ahead of time until meltingly soft and tender, with sweet, citrusy oranges and a traditional spice mix. The meat is then shredded and spread on warm corn tortillas and topped with a sweet pineapple salsa, the perfect, light contrast to the flavorful and rich pork. Corn is roasted in the oven alongside the carnitas, rolled in butter and topped with savory Cotija cheese, a pinch of cayenne, and chopped cilantro.

Reviews

An amazing family experience!

"The Explore Mexico box was fantastic. The box includes 3 authentic Mexican recipes (4 servings each), 5-7 pre-measured spice and sauce mixes, a shopping list for fresh ingredients, a fun cooking tool, Mexico flag pin + sticker, and a 16-page Cultural Explorer booklet. The recipes were easy to follow even with kids, and the flavors were so authentic. I loved that it wasn't just cooking - we learned about the Aztec & Mayan history, geography, music and language too. It made dinner feel like a mini trip to Mexico. Everything was well organized. Will definitely be ordering another country!"

Still checking it out, but so far, so good.

Great Homeschooling Activity!

"It was such a great experience shopping for the ingredients together as a family and then coming home to cook it together! Such a great learning activity to add to homeschooling. My daughter is 4 and loved this whole experience! She got to learn about Greece too and then eat a dish we personally made. How fun is that!?"

Q&A

Do the boxes include a tool? We received the box from Brazil but did not receive anything but the spices. Thank you!
That is strange… Every box include a cooking tool and the tool for our Brazil box is a Pasteis mold. We are so sorry for the oversight. Can you email us at contact@eat2explore.com with your account name? We can't seem to find your account.
