Let\u2019s start around 10,000 BC \u2013 archeologists have found evidence of nomadic people inhabiting Mexico as far back as 10,000 BC. The Olmecs, circa 1500 BC, were the first complex civilization in Mexico. Evidence suggest that they enjoyed beans and corn as staples in their cuisine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/burgershereandthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Tortillas_de_maiz_blanco_Mexico_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/burgershereandthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Tortillas_de_maiz_blanco_Mexico_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2092\" style=\"width:188px;height:125px\" width=\"188\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/burgershereandthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Tortillas_de_maiz_blanco_Mexico_02.jpg 512w, https:\/\/burgershereandthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Tortillas_de_maiz_blanco_Mexico_02-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 188px) 100vw, 188px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ProtoplasmaKid, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The rise of the Maya culture (circa 250 AD), brought larger cities and cultivated fields. Corn was the major crop along with beans, tomatoes and chilis. Most of the sources I found credit the Maya with the creation of the tortilla. Tortillas are still a huge part of Mexican food and the stereotypical Americanized version of Mexican food is basically a celebration of the tortilla in many forms.   <\/p>\n<p>The Aztecs brought a greater focus on chilis, particularly chipotle (smoke jalape\u00f1o), salt, and chocolate (note: chocolate use dates back to Olmecs). Then the Spanish came in and added sheep, cows, pigs, wheat, and dairy. Cheese, glorious cheese! Despite the desire of the Spanish to have their food dominate over indigenous flavors, the Mexican people just added the ingredients brought by the Spanish to their already rich culinary traditions. And always, at the core, corn, chilis, and beans. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to the core, Mexico is also blessed with and abundance of indigenous and imported produce that are featured heavily the cuisine. Tomatoes are used in most dishes and avocados are loved across the country. Mexico produces almost 30% of the world\u2019s avocados. Squash and Vanilla are also important staples. Traditional Mexican cuisine has such a rich history and complexity that it is included on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list (it was the only full cuisine I could find on the list).<\/p>\n<p>With so much to choose from, how to make a burger that can live up to that kind of cultural gravitas? If we could represent France and Italy, we can do justice to Mexican cuisine (I hope). And don\u2019t worry, we\u2019re leaving Taco Bell at the mall.<\/p>\n<p>Americans tend to think the only authentic dish in Mexican cuisine is mol\u00e9. There are as many recipes for mol\u00e9 as there are families in Mexico, most include chocolate as the signature ingredient in this smokey savory sauce. The sauce also includes chilies and a variety of spices. Mexican chocolate is dark and bitter and compliments the spicy smokey chilis. Most of the mol\u00e9 recipes I\u2019ve seen have over a dozen ingredients, and most chefs will tell you that the sauce needs time to develop the complexity of flavor it deserves. I\u2019ve tried to make a mol\u00e9 before and I think it\u2019s better left to the professionals and the people who have been making it for years. It certainly isn\u2019t worth the effort unless it\u2019s going to be the absolute star of the dish.<\/p>\n<p>We are fortunate enough to have a really good authentic Mexican restaurant not too far from us, and one dish I\u2019ve had there was really memorable because it had an ingredient I have never tasted before and that tastes like nothing I\u2019ve ever tasted. <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/burgershereandthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/512px-Huitlacoche_1932-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/burgershereandthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/512px-Huitlacoche_1932-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2094\" style=\"width:288px;height:272px\" width=\"288\" height=\"272\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Amada44, CC BY 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Huitlacoche (weet\u00b7luh\u00b7<strong>kow<\/strong>\u00b7chay), also known as Cuitlacoche, Corn Smut, or Corn Truffle (if you want to sound fancy) is this amazing ingredient that is earthy, sweet, and absolutely unique. The problem is, it\u2019s ugly, really ugly, and when you find out what it is, that doesn\u2019t increase the appeal. Huilacoche is an invasive fungus that grows on corn cobs before the cobs are ripe. How anyone thought, \u201cgee, that grey gook looks yummy\u201d, I have no clue. Fresh Huilacoche is very difficult to find, but canned or jarred is easier to find. I ordered it online because it wasn\u2019t in my local grocery store. When it\u2019s canned, it gets very dark \u2013 and ends up looking like black slime with chunks of corn. Are you sold yet?<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/burgershereandthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Huitlacoche.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/burgershereandthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Huitlacoche-1024x400.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2095\" style=\"width:554px;height:216px\" width=\"554\" height=\"216\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>I promise, it is worth the effort to find a can and try this out. It is also delicious with fish \u2013 the restaurant I first had it at served it with a panned seared halibut and fresh lime \u2013 it was divine. <\/p>\n<p>Once I settled on huitaloche as the unique flavor, I knew I needed to layer in classic flavors. Since huitaloche does have a corn flavor, corn was covered. Avocado was a must, of course. Some kind of salsa seemed natural to add \u2013 I chose a chiltomate salsa which is a traditional Yucatan roasted vegetable salsa. The smokiness added just the right element to balance the other flavors.<\/p>\n<p>For the patty, I decided to stick with beef \u2013 since our last two were chicken and fish, beef seemed like a nice change of pace. Thank you to the Spanish for bringing cows to Mexico!<\/p>\n<p>I took some inspiration from a traditional sandwich, Cemita Poblano. The cemita bun sounds close to the American sesame seed bun that we love for our burgers, so thankfully I didn\u2019t have wrap a burger in a tortilla (I really didn\u2019t want to do that). The cemita poblano also uses queso oaxaca \u2013 this is a white cheese similar to mozzarella but with a little more salt and flavor. It pulls apart like mozzarella. When I made this burger for my family, I pulled it apart before melting it on the burger \u2013 that kind of made a mess of my pan, so for the final version, I sliced it \u2013 this resulted in a thicker coating of melted cheese \u2013 either way it\u2019s yummy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/burgershereandthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BHT-Mexican-Burger2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/burgershereandthere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/BHT-Mexican-Burger2-1024x583.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2096\" style=\"width:369px;height:210px\" width=\"369\" height=\"210\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>The resulting burger was easily one of my favorite dishes so far, also one of the messiest. These flavors blended together perfectly. A touch of spice, a hint of smoke, lovely acid, rich fattiness, and earthy sweetness.  No one flavor dominated, instead they combined and made the whole greater than the sum of its parts. I\u2019ve eaten a lot of burgers over the course of this project, and this is the best balance I\u2019ve achieved. It just tasted GOOD! I suggest serving with several napkins for each guest \u2013 and stick with paper napkins, no need to get corn smut or salsa on grandma\u2019s linens. <\/p>\n<p>This is a great burger to have with beer, I\u2019d go with an amber ale if I could drink it. Since I can\u2019t  (allergic), I paired it with a Shiraz (on the lighter side vs a big bold one).<\/p>\n<p>If you like this burger, you might enjoy my <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/burgershereandthere.com\/2011\/09\/23\/colombian-burger-recipe\/\" target=\"_blank\">Columbian Burger<\/a>.
