The cuisine in Michoacaacuten is as varied as the statersquos landscape It has the perfect combination of rich taste and impeccable aroma Few other places in the country can claim such a profound and long-lasting indigenous influence on their regional cuisine Thanks to this influence the regional cuisine has many versions of corn-based dishes although other typical Mexican ingredients such as beans and chili are also important in this gastronomyAmong the main traditional dishes are the delicious corundas similar to tamales but wrapped in a long green corn plant leaf folded in a triangular shape
eaten with cream cheese and red hot salsa The ldquoAporreadillordquo made of dried beef scrambled egg and tomato broth The ldquoEnchiladas Michoacanasrdquo filled with cheese bathed in a rich yet mild chili sauce served with lettuce and diced potato and carrot The Morelia-Style Gazpacho a mixture of jicama pineapple mango and chili powder lemon juice salt and cheese The ldquoUcheposrdquo sweet and soft corn tamales The crispy ldquocharalitosrdquo small fried fish served as a snack with sauce and lemon The traditional ldquoSopa Tarasca (Tarascan Soup) with fried tortilla strips tomato beans ancho chili powder avocado and cheese The ldquoChileatolerdquo drink dating back to pre-Hispanic times is an atole (corn dough and sugar cooked in water) with chocolate and chili The exquisite chilled avocado soup mixed with onions cream cheese coriander and chicken broth The ldquoChuripordquo a soup made of beef cabbage onion chili and xoconostle a sour tuna (fruit of the nopal cactus) among other ingredients The traditional ldquoAtesrdquo (fruit jellies) made from fig guava and strawberry And the ldquoNieves de Pastardquo prepared with milk almonds spices and honey
