How would you go about cooking tlaxcallis?
You're asking about tlaxcalli, which is the Nahuatl word for corn. It's not a specific dish, but rather a staple ingredient in many Mexican cuisines.
To cook tlaxcalli (corn), you need to figure out what you want to make with it! Here are some common preparations:
Basic Corn Preparations:
* Boiling: This is the simplest method. Add corn kernels (fresh or frozen) to boiling water and cook until tender. Season with salt or your favorite herbs.
* Roasting: Roast corn on the cob over a grill, in the oven, or in a campfire until charred and tender. You can then remove the kernels from the cob or eat it whole.
* Steaming: Steam corn on the cob in a steamer basket until tender. This preserves the sweetness and nutrients.
Corn-Based Dishes:
* Pozole: A traditional Mexican stew made with hominy (corn kernels that have been soaked and cooked).
* Tamales: Steamed corn masa (dough) filled with various ingredients, such as meat, cheese, or vegetables.
* Tortillas: Flatbreads made from corn masa, which are used in many Mexican dishes, like tacos, enchiladas, and quesadillas.
* Elote: Grilled corn on the cob, slathered with butter, mayonnaise, and chili powder.
* Cornbread: A sweet or savory baked bread made with cornmeal.
