Gran Luchito Mexican
Mexican food gets its signature spice from a wide variety of chilli peppers. Some of the most popular varieties include jalapeños, chipotles, serranos, habaneros, pasillas, and ancho chillies.
One popular spicy Mexican dish is the traditional "Chiles Rellenos," which consists of roasted poblano peppers stuffed with cheese or meat and served with a spicy tomato sauce.
Yes, there are many non-spicy options in Mexican cuisine. Dishes like tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, and burritos can be made without spicy ingredients. You can always ask for milder salsas or avoid adding chilli peppers.
To cool down the spice level, you can add ingredients like sour cream, avocado, or cheese to your dish. These can help balance out the spice and provide a cooling effect.
