Baja California's Cuisine
Ahhhhh Baja! four letters that evoke visions of long and empty stretches of beaches, deserts, cactus, sun, and yes, food.Life in Baja is simple, laid back, and that reflects itself on the local cuisine. Unlike the more complex cuisine of central Mexico, the food in Baja is focused on fresh ingredients and seasonal herbs, vegetables, and an incredible assortment of seafood provided by the Sea of Cortez, and the Pacific ocean. Basic Baja ingredients are: Olive oil, basil, flour tortillas, tomatoes, chiles, cilantro, fish, scallops, clams, lamb, tuna, octopus, cheese, dates, figs, lobster, shrimp, mantarray, and mediterranean herbs. Also, in Baja California you will find most of Mexico's best wines.
