In the 90's it was very hard to find a fast pace food environment that could actually serve quality food, that’s where Chipotle began to stand out. Bringing authentic and fresh Mexican ingredients is one of the many things that makes chipotle stand out to their competition. Chipotle meats are fresh, never frozen, left over night to marinate and grilled fresh every hour .They raise their cattle in humane conditions which help the quality of their meat, from my experience at dinging in this restaurant it always carries a peculiar taste as compared to other restaurants who have added hormones to enhance flavors. You can taste the unadulterated flavors in their vegetables, salsas, and guacamole versus the genetically modified condiments provided at other establishments. Chipotle is one of the few places that thrive on quality and quantity in a fast food environment yet still guarantying fresh flavorful organic ingredients. For those who are now a part of the health conscious wave this is without a doubt the best option for not only them but for…
Tex-Mex foods consist of a variety of the same ingredients as Mexican food. The Tex-Mex Cuisine is based on Corn, Pinto Beans, Tomatoes and Chili, Texas chile, Tacos, Fajitas and much more ingredients. A taste of cabrito, barbacoa de cabeza, carne seca, and most of the other cattle products common to both sides of the border, Mexican and American alike. The 20th century was when Tex-Mex acquired Americanized elements like yellow cheese, because the goods from the United States were really cheap and became much more readily available. Most of the Mexican foods that we enjoy, like hard-shell tacos, burritos and nachos are inventions within the Tex-Mex cuisine. Mexican cuine has many common ingredients that they use, but the other ingredients that are not typically used in Mexico are often added after, with Tex-Mex style ingredients. One can chararterize the Tex-Mex cuisine by the shredded cheese, beans, meat and spices, also w Mexican tortillas.

In fact, it has become a defining factor for families, classes, and cultures all through history. Hispanic societies are no exception.

Tortillas made by hand thrown over the pan, as the heat puff up the tortillas, it is thrown on this red sauce that looks like lava. Then, it is pulled out from the sauce and thrown on to the plate ready for the chopped up cabbage, the onion with oregano, and Mexican cheese. The enchiladas, I wouldn’t dare eat for three-hundred and sixty-five days because the same food taste, the condiments will be overwhelming, forever I have to wash my hands, and I will result in obesity.…

When I hear the word Mexico, images of mouthwatering enchiladas and quesadillas come to mind. And of course, salsa. Salsa may not seem very unique, but its history stretches back to the time that the Aztecs ruled Mexico (Dumois). The Aztecs used salsas and guacamoles to transform “something as tasteless as white chicken breast into a real delicacy, worthy enough to be served on the most sophisticated and elegant table” (Dumois). Salsa is made from ingredients that are already in Mexico, such as red tomatoes, onion, garlic, chiles, and cilantro, also known as coriander (Dumois) (Sherril C.). Some salsas are based on little green tomatoes, or tomatillos, and sometimes even chocolate is used to make certain salsas (Dumois). Mexican cuisine has a wide variety of influences due to the colonization during the Age of Exploration and trade between people from various countries and continents. In a word, Mexican food is a result of several, diverse culinary influences and therefore a mixture of varied cooking styles and ingredients in various cultures (Manohar).…

Jewelers put diamonds and sapphires on velvet in order to display the jewels and make them look more impressive. In Tortilla Flat, John Steinbeck is the jeweler and his characters are the diamonds. Steinbeck’s embellished tone toward his characters is a pretense to show off his characters and present them as more admirable and chivalric than their outward actions would honestly allow. His admiring tone towards his characters in Tortilla Flat contributes to the emphasis of “simple things” presented throughout the novel.…
