Mexican cuisine: harmful, but terribly tasty

Mexican cuisine can hardly be called healthy - hot sauces, fried meats, chips and almost no soups. But with all this, Mexican gastronomy is very popular in the world. The basis of most dishes is tortilla - a tortilla made from corn or wheat flour. Burritos, tacos, nachos, etc. are made from it. The main alcoholic drink is mezcal. For dessert, Mexicans drink cocoa or hot chocolate.
