Recetas V3:
Platos Fuertes
From birria to barbacoa and nopalitos to taquitos, main dishes—or platos fuertes—take center stage and feature food traditions that define Mexico’s culinary history.
*Note: UTSA Librarians and archivists transcribed recipes as they originally appeared in manuscript cookbooks which occasionally use non-standard and variant spellings in Spanish. Common use of abbreviated instructions along with the difficulty of reading handwriting and tears or scratched-out text add an extra level of difficulty to the challenge of transcribing and interpreting historical recipes.
