people overestimate how much spices are put in mexican cooking. its truly not that many. maybe a few herbs for caldos here and there, salt pepper ......................... we genuinely dont use that much. i mean i use garlic salt but its garlic salt. its just garlic garlic isnt a spice. most of the heat comes from chiles. of which we only use like 5 types regularly. maybe for some special dishes we need different spices like cinnamon or smthn but thats if youre making mole sauce which most of us would just buy the glass container from the store. indians actually use a lot more spices than mexicans even tho our foods r usually called super spicy we get heat from different places

#forgive me indians if im wrong u can throw eggs at me #but anyway its just im very upset watching great british bake off mexican week (MY OWN FAULT) like what the fuck are you DOING😭#good mexican food fr doesnt even need that much spice. i can fry a unseasoned thin piece of beef and pair it with red rice and ohhhh my god #and the only spices in red rice is. s. salt. does buillon count? Buillon that we do use a lot certainly. Buillon. its just tomato onions #garlic buillon Da Rice oil 2 fry Da Rice.................. i mean sometimes a serrano chile laying on top..........literaly idk its not #much #this could entirely be biased tho. my family is from michoacan and um they certainly did not have that many spices at the ranch #but it is central mexico at the same time soo idk #just trust me. my food tastes good. my whiteboy roomatebestie says so
