Mexican appetizers consist mostly of finger foods. The most common types feature chips or husks of corn or flour. These include tortilla chips, quesadillas, nachos and taquitos, which are often made or served with a hot salsa or salsa. Another type of Mexican appetizer is a nut concoction made up of pecans, spiced pine nuts, and pumpkin seeds.
A nacho dip can be made by layering the ground beef with taco toppings, refried beans, chunky salsa, and grated taco cheese. The dip can be baked in the oven and topped with onions, jalapeños, and sour cream. The dip can then be scooped up with tortilla chips.
The tortilla chips can also be placed side by side on a baking sheet so they aren’t touching and then topped with onions and jalapeños. Cheese can be sprinkled on top, and chips can be baked. The chips are separated from each other, so there is less grease and the seals stay in place. Sour cream, salsa, or guacamole can be used for the dip.
Taquitos, also known as “little tacos,” are another type of traditional Mexican appetizer. The meat is placed on corn tortillas and they are rolled to resemble tube shapes and then fried to toughen them. The tortillas can be filled with pork, shredded chicken, or ground beef. If a deep fryer is not available, the tortilla can be brushed with oil and placed on a baking sheet and baked. Flautas are made the same way but with flour tortillas instead of the corn tortillas used for taquitos.
One of the most popular Mexican appetizers, quesadillas are extremely easy to make using shredded cheese and tortilla chips. Flour tortillas work best, and the cheese should be a taco blend or a combination of shredded cheddar and jack. Quesadillas can also include ingredients such as marinated steak, grilled chicken, or even shrimp or salmon. Typical accompaniments to these Mexican appetizers include onions, red and green peppers, and bacon. Popular dipping sauces include guacamole, salsa, and sour cream.
