Many people have the misconceptions that all the dishes in Mexico are flaming hot as the country has a lot of spicy dishes that can make you feel like a heat has been put to your mouth if you are not prepared.

Chilies are a common ingredient in Mexican food. They are used in salsas, stews, and vegetable dishes, among other things.

Mexico: Top Spiciest Mexican Dishes

Whether fresh, dried, whole, flakes, or ground, chili is always part of the Mexican dish. Hot sauce will be served on the side if the dish does not have chilis. Here are some of the spiciest Mexican dishes you can try or stay away from, depending on how much you like spicy food.

Chiles Rellenos

While chiles rellenos are typically thought of as having a mild flavor, it is one of the spiciest Mexican dishes for a reason. You are making a gamble every time you eat chiles rellenos, which are stuffed poblano peppers typically filled with quesillo cheese and occasionally breaded and deep-fried.

The Culture Trip reported that while poblano peppers are usually mild, one in a handful is notoriously hot. Compared to other spicy dishes in Mexico, there is virtually no way to pre-test this food, so it is better just to order and cross your fingers.

Chilate de Pollo

The Mexican state of Guerrero is home to one of the spiciest Mexican dishes - the hot chicken soup known as chilate de pollo. The cornbread, onion, garlic, chile de árbol, and chicken combine to make the soup as thick as a stew. Many people find this dish quite spicy.

The warm tortillas you receive beside it may not help. The number and intensity of the chili peppers used determines the dish's spiciness.

Guacamole

Guacamole is a spicy dish that health-conscious eaters will adore. To create guacamole, you will need avocados, white onion, tomato, pepper, and cilantro. Avocado is the most nutritionally balanced addition to today's most well-liked dishes.

Avocados are surprisingly common in Mexican cuisine. Guacamole is traditionally made with a mortar and pestle. However, it can also be made in a regular dish with a fork, according to TopTens. This dish can be prepared fast because it requires no cooking. It is excellent on its own or in a morning salad.

Chimichanga

Chimichanga is also considered to be one of the spiciest Mexican dishes. Although similar to burrito, the main difference between the two is that with Chimichanga the tortilla is deep fried, uses salsa as its main sauce and with guacamole.

Chimichangas often consist of beans, rice, pork, and cheese. According to Asian-Recipe, yellow rice or the Mexican style rice can also be used. Bean options for this dish include refried beans, pinto beans, and black beans.

Aguachile

Along the coasts of Sinoloa, this spicy dish has to be served with a cold beer, or you may never finish it. Aguachile is a type of Mexican ceviche, a Peruvian dish of fresh fish and onions cooked in lime.

Shrimps are mixed with fresh ground chilli peppers, usually chile piquín or a fresh green chilli like serrano or jalapeño. Chilies are crushed with water to make a sauce, giving its name agua (water) chile (pepper). It may get hotter and make you sweat after you eat this, but it is okay since it is so delicious.
