Before I moved to San Francisco, I was not that big a fan of Mexican food. You see, in Michigan where I grew up, the Mexican restaurants were not very good. You would almost inevitably have to make some sacrifices. The food was done in a very American style. Basically, it consisted of grilled meat, fatty processed cheese, Flour tortillas, and refried beans. Although cheese, meat, beans, and tortillas are important ingredients in Mexican food, There is a definite difference between authentic Mexican cuisine and Americanized, or Tex-Mex food.

Tortillas got its name from the Spaniards. The word “tortillas” comes from the Spanish word “torta” with the meaning being round cake. Tortillas are eaten everyday not just in Mexico but also in America. Americans put just about anything they can in the tortilla from meat and beans to apples and brown sugar. Ever try peanut butter and jelly in a tortilla? Many eat it that way; also, the tortillas are used with hot dogs, casseroles, and sandwiches.
