Mexico's Zapotecs are an indigenous community living in Oaxaca, Mexico. Before Spanish colonization, Zapotecan civilization was a thriving epicenter of food, culture and tradition. Today, chef Abigail Mendoza is on a mission to keep those traditions alive by cooking the food of her ancestors. All the dishes she cooks-including pre-hispanic mole, stuffed chiles with Oaxaca cheese and atole-are made using ancient techniques. Recognized by the world’s best chefs for her dishes, she hopes to keep the food of her ancestors alive and thriving.

Mis tías en Zacatecas aun usan un metate para repasar la masa, echa de nixtamal, para las tortillas. Las mejores tortillas del mundo. No hay como la comida que hacen las señoras en nuestros humildes ranchos. 🇲🇽❤️🙏🏻 Let’s keep our roots alive!

@@kaylawuvscookies Mexico is beautiful lmfao the people are great if they don't like Americans like you then i don't blame them at all. They could smell the elitism, narcissism, and self centeredness a mile away. I guess America doesn't have gangs, billionaire pedophiles, a sexual abusive idiot president, abusive christian leaders, corrupt racist politicians, and a ridiculously large divide that grows daily between the poor and rich? Last i checked people are getting raped and shot in america on the daily, so we are definitely not any better. If that's all you got, you aint got much. I'm glad you'll never realize how awesome mexico is, you don't deserve it.

@Lola L I'm from south texas and we all know that this land was stolen. Many farmers had their land literally taken by force, their women raped, they sons shot, and their cows killed. Sounds much worse than the cartel to me. People had their lives erased for the very land they had been cultivating for generations. The difference between African Americans and Mexicans in history is that Mexicans had a home here, a beautiful home that they respected and loved, and it was ripped away from them by racist assholes.

Seeing that pride in their eyes and knowing they're keeping the traditions alive is so aspiring!

This Reminds me of my grandmothers cooking when she was alive. Tlaxcala, Mexico is where she lived in with my cousins and other relatives. She would sometimes speak to me in her old native tongue but I never understood it. She died when I was very young, still think about her to this day.
