As for Mexican food I dont know of anything I cant get locally they even have special cuts of pork here just for Texans to make carnitas.
It is basically scrap cuts of fatty pork that are cheap and affordable I buy them all if the time.
Carnitas and Al Pastor are two of my favorites.
Carnitas means little meats and Al Pastor means style of the shepherd.
I also made some homemade corn tortillas yesterday and dipped them in Valentina salsa picante which comes from Guadalajara the Jalisco state of Mexico.
This area was inhabited around maybe 15,000 years ago and agriculture cropped up around 7,000 years ago.

If you are able to find salsas (Hot Sauce) made in Mexico you will find they are somewhat different than the stuff made in the USA.
I make my own this way and I find them much more flavorful and so do the people that try them.

Last night I made hot chocolate and put in chili powder cinnamon and cayenne pepper.
Been doing this for quite sometime now.
