Mexico Ensalada Mexicana con Frijoles
Central American and Caribbean countries have similar dishes, but frijoles (beans) are what make this salad particularly Mexican. Beans have been grown in Mexico since 7000 BCE. This salad combines frijoles with corn and tomatoes, two more foods native to Mexico.
