History and Nixtamalization  

• Before we learn more about the food, lets first
  learn how this cuisine comes into existence.  
• Having roots in Mesoamerican cuisine, Mexican
  food has a history from back centuries. By the
  time the Maya civilization emerged, all crops
  were grown maize, and thus nixtamalization was
  discovered. The different cooking methods of
  Mesoamerican were used and then were transformed
  to create the Mexican food culture.

By boiling corn with a base, such as lime or
sodium hydroxide and soaking it for a long time,
the skins around the corn kernels were removed.
This makes corn easier to digest. The
consequence? Mexicans not only got more
nutrients, but their food also tasted better. The
most common ingredients used in Mexican food are
corns, beans, tomato, avocadoes, chili peppers,
and sweet potato.
