for the sauce. The ingredients to make the sauce and to dip the tortillas in are some chiles rojos, garlic, onion, oregano, and salt. These 6 spices are some very traditional and cultural flavors from Mexico, that are very commonly used. The chiles rojos are very flavorful and colorful chili peppers that are going to help the tortillas get their glowy flaming color and the comforting traditional Mexican flavor. Since only a clove of garlic is going to be used, the garlic is going to be a taste “puncher” that will boost and highlight the flavors combined with the slice of onion. Lastly the oregano is a spice that will awaken the whole sauce combined with the hint of salt. Together these spices are going to make the enchiladas roja sauce super delicious. Now that the sauce is ready and prepared the next step will be to make the filling and the toppings. The traditional filling of an enchilada roja only requires a few ingredients. The ingredients for the filing are potatoes, carrots, onion, and queso fresco with scallions. Enchiladas rojas have the traditional filling of potatoes and carrots because if meat were to be added it would make the enchiladas rojas too overpowering. On the other hand, the potatoes and the carrots are light, fluffy and tasty. The second ingredient used is queso fresco and scallions. Queso fresco is a Mexican cheese that is made out of cow milk that has been drained by a sieve and shaped into a circular shape. Queso fresco is the type of cheese that is meant to be eaten cold, freshly sliced or crumbled over a dish, making the dish look and taste fresh. The tradition when making enchiladas rojas is to crumble the cheese and chop up some scallions very finely and combined them together. The scallions are going to be like the sprinkles in the cake, they are going to embellish the flavor in the cheese and make the filling of the enchilada even more variant and contrasting. Finally the last step is going to be combining the sauce, the stuffing we just prepared and cook the enchiladas rojas. The process of cooking a enchilada roja is the most simple part of this whole recipe.
The utensils needed are a large skillet and some cooking oil of preference. The traditional oil used is vegetable oil because when the tortilla is dipped into the sauce and placed in the skillet with the oil, in the moment of frying the sauce is going to get an amazing drizzling salivating flavor of the vegetable oil, making it ten times better. Once all the utensils are gathered turn on your stove to the highest temperature so the skillet can be warm enough. By this time the sauce ingredients must be nice and blended by a blender and ready for a tortilla to be dipped in. The same goes for the filling, the potatoes and carrots must be boiled, chopped up and friend in a skillet. Once all the ingredients are ready to go, add around half a tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet, make sure it is hot before adding the tortilla because if it is not the tortilla will be soggy, drenched in oil, and not come out the same. When the oil and skillet are nice and hot grave a tortilla and dip it in some of the sauce and gently lay the tortilla in the skillet allowing it to cook properly. Each side of the tortilla will take about 15 seconds to cook. When the 15 seconds have passed flip the tortilla and add a small scoop of potato and carrot filling, in another bowl the scallions and queso fresco should be ready, so add about a scoop as well. After adding the filling grave a spatula and close the
tortilla like closing a quesadilla. Once all these steps have been done keep on doing the same steps until their is no longer filling or queso fresco.

Through the study of the Peruvian society using articles like “The “Problem of the Indian...” and the Problem of the Land” by Jose Carlos Mariátegui and the Peruvian film La Boca del Lobo directed by Francisco Lombardi, it is learned that the identity of Peru is expressed through the Spanish descendants that live in cities or urban areas of Peru. In his essay, Mariátegui expresses that the creation of modern Peru was due to the tenure system in Peru and its Indigenous population. With the analyzation of La Boca del Lobo we will describe the native identity in Peru due to the Spanish treatment of Indians, power in the tenure system of Peru, the Indian Problem expressed by Mariátegui, and the implementation of Benedict Andersons “Imagined Communities”.

Cinco de Mayo serves as a proud reminder of an unlikely victory, as well as a day to express and cherish Mexican pride and heritage.
The last step of this recipe is waiting. The master pot should be left on low heat for about one hour and a half to two hours while stirring consistently to prevent sticking or burning to the edges of the pan. The sauce can be thinned if too thick by simply adding some more, you guessed it, chicken stock. When the sauce is done, my grandmother usually puts some salt and pours it on some cooked chicken with rice on the sides. The rice she makes (another traditional dish) is delicious and requires a recipe of its own. But after the sauce is nice and ready, pour it on your choice of poultry or even get crative. The end result is always a happy mouth and a taste of mexican heritage itself. Enjoy.

The culture I was born and raised on was that of Mexican-American culture. My parents were born and raised in Mexico, and when they came to America and had kids, they instilled a hybrid of their culture, and American culture, in us. They were each raised in the Mexican culture, but wanted us to be raised as Americans also, and added this to our upbringing.

What is culture? Many people ask themselves this question every day. The more you think about it the more confusing it is. Sometimes you start leaning to a culture and then people tell you you’re wrong or they make you feel like a different person because of your culture. I go through this almost every day. Because of the way I was raised I love Mexican rodeo but I was born and raised in Joliet. This can be very difficult trying to understand culture. I live in this huge mix of culture. Culture is personal. People can have many cultures especially in America and because of globalization. Cultural identity is not one or the other, it is not Mexican or American. Cultural identity is an individual relevant thing.
