Add Spice To Gatherings With Mexican Food Catering

By Frances Morris


Most people associate catered meals with boring food unless the event is being catered by an upscale operation or restaurant with a strong following. However, this is not always the case, as some food service establishments take pride in their product. Those who have chosen a Mexican food catering company are often impressed by the wide selection.

Often they are surprised at the choices that are not hot, overly spicy or deep fried. While the flavor is a major component, there are many styles of cooking that offer layers of different flavors. Some dishes offer a citrus, savory, or smoky aftertaste without the intense heat these dishes are most known for.

There are also dishes that are ideal for those watching their figure. Fajitas can be made with chicken, seafood, or lean cuts of beef. Substitutions can also be made for dishes that normally call for a meat filling or are normally fried in a lot of oil.

While hardcore enthusiasts may disagree to using zucchini squash in green chile enchiladas, more adults and children welcome the healthy makeover. More catering companies are learning to make simple changes that retain the authentic flavor. Another example of this is using more canola and virgin olive oil instead of lard.

Some people would rather use the services of a caterer who is experienced in preparing Mexican cuisine because of the labor that goes into most dishes. This type of cooking is not like the neighborhood fast food franchises. Anyone who does this regularly will say that some recipes take more than an hour to prepare.

For instance, the homemade tamales cannot just be wrapped together in a corn husk and cooked in a microwave. Unless one is making a cheese and chili pepper recipe, most meat versions entail using a filling that has simmered for a few hours before being chopped down enough to fill a bed of masa flour. Even vegetarian versions taste better when the corn, bell pepper, and tomatoes have spent a few hours roasting over an open fire.

As the merging of cultures is becoming more common, chefs and home cooks are finding ways to make dishes appeal to different groups of people. Recipes that once called for shredded beef or pork are now being replaced by jackfruit, a fruit that is growing in popularity as a meat alternative. Instead of using beef or pork fat, virgin olive oil is being used more often for frying and sauteing.

Mexican desserts are also getting a new spin, as almond milk is being used in classics like rice pudding, horchata, and flan. There is even a vegan version of tres leche cake.

Those who find a catering operation that knows how to add the spice but with a healthy twist is one way to liven up the next gathering. People often feel better about attending business meetings or family gatherings when they know there is something special to look forward to. And if they do not feel too lethargic afterward, this is a good suggestion for trying something different.
