Dishes to know on this menu

Tamales: Masa wrapped around or alongside a filling, enclosed in a corn husk, banana leaf or other wrapper and steamed. Fillings vary enormously by region and can include pork or chicken in chile sauce, cheese and rajas, beans, vegetables, fruit and sweet preparations. The singular Spanish form is tamal, although "tamale" is common in English. Tamales are sold individually and by the dozen and are particularly prominent during holidays and celebrations. On this menu as: Tamales.
Sopes: Thick rounds of masa cooked on a griddle, with the edges pinched upward to form a shallow rim. Common toppings include beans, meat, lettuce or cabbage, crema, cheese and salsa. Names and preparations vary regionally, and related dishes may appear as picaditas or under other local names. On this menu as: Sopes.
Gorditas: Thick masa cakes that are cooked, split and filled, somewhat like a pocket. Fillings might include chicharrón in salsa, beans and cheese, picadillo or other guisados. Depending on the region and restaurant, gorditas may be griddled or fried and can differ considerably in thickness and texture. The item sold as a "gordita" by U.S. fast-food chains is a separate Mexican-American interpretation. On this menu as: Gorditas.
Enchiladas: Tortillas filled, rolled or folded and served with chile sauce or another sauce. Corn tortillas are traditional, but preparation varies widely by region. Rojas use a red sauce, while verdes use a green sauce. Enmoladas replace the chile sauce with mole, and enfrijoladas use a bean sauce. Enchiladas suizas are typically topped with a creamy green sauce and melted cheese. Tex-Mex enchiladas developed their own traditions, including versions topped with cheese, chile con carne or chile gravy. On this menu as: Enchiladas.
Mole: Not one sauce but an enormous family of sauces built from combinations of chiles, spices, seeds, nuts, fruits, herbs and other ingredients. Some contain chocolate; many do not. Puebla is famous for mole poblano. Oaxaca is particularly celebrated for its variety of moles, including dark mole negro and green mole verde. Mole is commonly served with poultry or other meat, accompanied by rice and tortillas, but both recipes and uses vary widely. On this menu as: Mole Negro.
