Mexican Ingredients – Authentic Mexican Food Essentials

Explore the vibrant flavours of Mexico with our carefully curated range of Mexican cooking ingredients. At Somerset Foodie, we focus on sourcing authentic, high-quality products that reflect the depth, regional diversity and heritage of Mexican cuisine.

Mexican food is built on a foundation of a few essential ingredients - corn, chillies, beans, herbs and slow-developed flavours. Central to this is maize, used for centuries to make corn tortillas through the ancient process of nixtamalisation, which enhances flavour, texture and nutrition. Corn tortillas remain the backbone of Mexican cooking, forming the base of tacos, enchiladas, tostadas and quesadillas.

Alongside tortillas, our Mexican collection includes a range of key pantry staples such as dried and smoked chillies, salsas, sauces and seasonings. These ingredients are used to build layers of flavour, from fresh and citrusy to smoky, earthy and deeply rich. Whether you’re making tacos al pastor, slow-cooked meats, vegetable-led dishes or simple street-food classics, these products help you cook with authenticity and confidence.

We choose Mexican ingredients that are difficult to find in supermarkets and essential for recreating traditional flavours at home. This collection is ideal for adventurous home cooks, lovers of Mexican street food, and anyone looking to move beyond shortcuts and cook real Mexican food using the right ingredients.
