What do you really expect from a 15 minute food guide ? Obviously there are going to be shortcuts to get that time. I do agree that it should be labeled Mexican-inspired dishes or something.

If you go to Mexico City there is no such thing as a Burrito or a Taco Pie. Where do they get these people who write this stuff? A Cheesy Salsa Dip???

I'll give them credit they did get a few of them correct. You can not go to any Mexican restaurant or home and not find a good Fresh Tomato Salsa it could be a green or red salsa but they usually have one or both of them!

Mole you have to have Mole!!! Its a great Mexican dish. Shrimp ceviche and Guacamole. Thats about the only Authentic Mexican dishes here...

Frozen Horchatas mad with Vanilla Ice cream.. 'Common now. Who are you trying to fool !!!!!

A Good Substitute

Honestly, I do not understand why others seems so offended by this article. Many of you are Hispanic and seem to be very biased and judgemental of what is supposed to be a simple, fun take on a very involved Hispanic treat.

Why don't you all just recognize that it is nice that other people are trying to get a taste of your culture rather than insult them for trying.

After all, why would someone spend hours soaking rice and preparing a drink if they don't know if they are even going to like it? Think first, please.

these may be Mexican-inspired and although u gotta give the people who write this stuff some credit, you just shouldn't get away with calling something Mexican when many of these recipes taste nothing like the real thing. My biggect peeve is that people will see these recipes and get a misconception of what MEXICAN food really is. We do not like spice or chiles in every single dish and if you look at most Mexican dishes cumin and other "spice substitutes" ruin the dish. Same thing goes for Taco Bell. If you want the authentic taste you will have to sacrifice the time or visit Mexico...
