Side Dishes in a Mexican Cuisine
A food item accompanying the main course at a meal is known as a side dish. For instance: a meal with a main dish as meat could have a vegetable side dish such as a salad or a starch side dish with pasta, rice or bread. For Mexican food lovers, an ideal meal would be a big plate filled with an enchilada, a taco which is deep fried, a stuffed, pork filled burrito and refried beans and rice.
