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
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 (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, 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
Bought my husband a subscription - no regrets
"Bought him a subscription when it was just one type of box - so like the family one. We loved it! Now I see there’s a date night one for adults specifically and am very tempted to resubscribe for his next gift"
Still checking it out, but so far, so good.
"So far so good. We accidentally used the wrong seasoning packet on our first meal, lol, but it was a great learning experience. So far everything seems easy to follow. I may have more thoughts after a few more boxes."
The BEST Stay Home Date Night!
"We thoroughly enjoyed this Italy kit. It was thoughtfully put together and it makes for a really great few date nights! After doing our first one, we are both looking forward to cooking our next meal from our kitchen together!"
Explore France
"I provided this to my clients after their cruise to France. They all loved it, and really thought it was unique. They also said that the chicken came out just like the recipe and was so moist and tasty."
Best buy ever!
"We have gotten all the kits from each country and our family really enjoys them! They're educational, not only for the kids but for us adults as well. The recipes bring us together as we learn facts about different countries, cooking techniques, and trying new food."
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.
