9 Mexican & Caribbean Dishes to Add Zest to Your Dinner
Drawing inspiration from Dinogo's cruise routes to Mexico and the Caribbean, we're excited to present nine delightful recipes from these vibrant regions to try at home.
We’re always seeking a reason to escape the city, unwind, and indulge in delicious meals by the water. There's something about the fresh air, a chilled drink, and flavorful dishes that transports us far from the concrete jungle—or at least from our daily obligations. But when an escape isn't possible, these Mexican and Caribbean-inspired recipes packed with sweet and savory tastes will take you on a culinary getaway.
The culinary traditions surrounding the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico are enriched by influences from South America, Asia, and Africa. These regions boast a diverse array of spices that play a key role in their tropical cuisines. While the following nine spices are just a glimpse of what these areas offer, they are staples in many dishes and often complement one another beautifully. Commonly found in home kitchens, these spices are must-haves for your pantry (you can easily find them at any grocery store, and your pantry will thank you for adding them).
Here are 9 creative ways to elevate your meals using ingredients you probably already have at home:
