Instructions
Step 1
In Mexico, which is the birthplace of tequila, guests of cafes, bars and restaurants are traditionally treated to three types of salsa: salsa verde or green sauce, salsa roja or red sauce and pico de gallo - a sauce made from tomatoes, onions and chili. Also, a dish with lemons and salt, bread and tostados (cornmeal cakes) is always put on the table. This is the national tequila snack. In many European countries, a slice of lemon with salt has been replaced by a slice of orange with grated cinnamon. It is believed that this combination is softer and tastier. Tequila can also be eaten with pineapple or grapefruit in case you are going to drink a small amount of this drink.
Step 2
As a light snack at a small party where tequila is supposed to be served, almost any cuts, except sweet ones, can be suitable: soft cheeses, meats, mushrooms and olives. It is customary to serve snacks along with a Mexican sauce - salsa - which is made from finely chopped tomatoes, onions, garlic and chili. The ingredients are whisked in a blender until smooth and seasoned with salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil. The sauce is served in small bowls so that you can dip pieces of meat or bread into it.
Step 3
Another Mexican dish that can be served with tequila is guacamole. It is a puree-like mass made with the pulp of avocado, onion, tomato, chili, lime juice and herbs and seasoned with salt and black pepper. Guacamole is spread on a piece of bread or flatbread.
Step 4
If you have to receive a large number of guests, then tequila snacks should be more satisfying. You can organize a Mexican-style buffet table. Mexican burritos and quesadillas go well with tequila and cocktails based on it. Burritos are bread cakes with various fillings, a kind of analogue of shawarma. The best ingredients include chicken, red beans, corn, hard cheese, onions, garlic, and chili peppers. All components must be fried with spices and salt, and then wrapped in a cake.
Step 5
To make quesadillas, you will need tortillas, best of all corn, fried mushrooms with onions, chicken fillet fried with slices, tomatoes, and hard cheese. Put the filling in a slide on one half of the round cake. Then the cake is folded in half and fried on both sides for 2-3 minutes. The filling options can be tailored to your taste.
