I do know how to cook a few things, but I want to learn how to cook more mexican dishes as I do like mexican dishes. I know how to cook tortilla soup, cheese quesadillas and taco's. I know it's not much, but that's what I've done before. I am sure it's not hard to do the refried beans from scratch as I've seen it done before. I want to learn how to cook these dishes and incorportate two of them into a meal plan for the month. Do like two of the mexican dishes, and to Asian type dishes a month, then the rest of the time either be American or Italian. Do you know how to cook a lot of Latino foods? What do you know how to cook? What would you recommend me try to cook?

Tacos, burritos, and soups are usually the easiest to make. It's the tamales, enchiladas, and other things that are harder to eat.

I am chilean so I know many diashes fron the latin cuisine. There are some that are difficult to make, but the ones you want to learn are very easy. I sugest you check online. There are sites where they give the recipe with step by step pictures or even with videos. Cheese quesadillas are the easiest, but of course you have to buy ready made tortillas. I would go then to tacos, always checking at those sites. They are easy or less easy depending on what you put inside them. I love to use guacamole, but in my country avocados are not very expensive. Luck!

Make yourself up a big ol' pot of pinto beans (meal one) and then smash them up to be refried beans... Burritos are really just soft tacos, generally without the lettuce and tomatoes... you can make them with just beans, just beef or chicken or a combo of beans and meat... and cheese... You don't want to do tamales, they are a LOT of work...
