Name your top 3 mexican dishes, meat cuts, or what ever that you love. Im compiling a list of things to master.!

Ive already got a few things under my belt from a few different regions of mexico, but I want to know what makes people out there happy!

Please forgive me upfront if I sound super dumb 🙈

Is there a good go to website or something I can Google (like regional type food or type of food name) that is mostly like... "Fresh" type Mex food? I mean ones that don't include a lot of cheese or beans, and feature a lot of fresh/raw or lightly cooked veggies (even aguachile/ceviche style)

I've been craving the flavor profile of lime/cilantro/tamarind/jalapeno... Spicy/sour...

I love shrimp tacos, aguachile/ceviche, the pickled onions/carrots/jalapenos (I dunno what it's called)... And I've been really wanting more stuff along those lines but all the places near me to order from are super cheese/bean heavy or slathered in thick sauce stuff and I just want something that's crunchy and fresh and vibrant and possibly mouth burning I dunno lol I'm not scared to make stuff just looking for ideas on where to start

ETA - I also love posole (I've only made the verde) -essentially I'm a sucker for anything with a bajillion fresh toppings.. Since I got preggo I've been very meat avoidant but trying to find ways to mask the meat so I'm not living off of eggs lol

For those that use bouillon in their cooking, which brand do you prefer? My family uses Knorr, so I do too as a result. I've been thinking about switching over to BTB paste, but I'm particular with certain tastes. How different does BTB taste compared to Knorr in Mexican dishes?

I've tried using MSG on its own but it doesn't hit the spot like Knorr for me.

Hi, my boyfriend's birthday is tomorrow and chilaquiles are his favorite dish. I'm going to make them a verde kind, so does anyone have a super traditional/authentic recipe? I'm talking your grandma's recipe. Want to make it special.
