Add a special touch to your dishes with Ajinomoto!

Ajinomoto is a popular condiment in cooking that enhances the flavors of dishes thanks to monosodium glutamate (MSG). Although it is traditionally associated more with Asian cuisine, it can also be used in various Mexican dishes to intensify flavors. Here are 10 examples of Mexican dishes that can be prepared or accompanied with Ajinomoto :

1. Tortilla Soup

Ajinomoto can enhance the flavor of tomato broth in tortilla soup , making it more intense and balanced. It is added to chicken and tomato broth to give it an umami touch that enhances the other ingredients.

2. Tacos al Pastor

In the pork marinade for al pastor tacos , adding a little Ajinomoto will help enhance the flavors of ingredients like achiote, pineapple, and spices, achieving a deeper flavor.

3. Guacamole

While guacamole is delicious on its own, a small amount of Ajinomoto mixed with avocado, tomato, onion, cilantro and lime can intensify the natural flavors of the ingredients, highlighting the freshness of the herbs and the acidity of the lime.

4. Green Enchiladas

Ajinomoto can be an excellent flavor enhancer for green enchilada sauce made with tomatillos, chiles, and cilantro. Adding a pinch of Ajinomoto will bring out the flavor of the chiles and tomatillos, making the sauce more flavorful.

8. Pozole

Pozole , whether red, green or white, can benefit from the use of Ajinomoto in the broth. This flavor enhancer will bring out the flavors of the pork or chicken, as well as the seasonings in the broth, making for a more flavorful dish.

9. Stew Tacos

In stewed tacos , which include dishes such as potato with chorizo, tinga or rajas with cream, Ajinomoto helps to highlight the spicy and creamy flavors, making each taco more flavorful and balanced.
