Easy
According to Adriana, there isn't one Mexican cuisine. The country can be divided into seven culinary regions. One is the region: Bajio, in central Mexico. Where they do not eat pork in the north of Mexico, this is often done in this region. A popular type of sausage is chorizo. Bajio is also partly located on the coast of Mexico, where a lot of fish is eaten. Adriana gave us this authentic family recipe in which the contrasting flavors of fish and chorizo are deliciously combined.
