Don’t call us traitors: descendants of Cortés’s allies defend role in toppling Aztec empire
When people from the Mexican state of Tlaxcala travel to other parts of the country, they are sometimes insulted as traitors by their compatriots.
Tlaxcala is Mexico’s smallest state in size, but it played an outsized role in Mexico’s early history, not least when indigenous Tlaxcalans allied with Hernán Cortés’ tiny band of invaders to bring down the Aztec empire.

“The plague couldn’t reach us there,” Pascuala says. “That’s what I saw in my dream.”
A few months later the pandemic had engulfed Mexico and thousands of people were dying every week. But Coquilteel and many small, indigenous towns in the state of Chiapas were left relatively unscat ..read more

Regional Mexican Specialty: Birria
Tara A. Spears
www.solmexiconews.com
You don’t have to be a serious foodie or even adventurous to enjoy the favorite regional dish, birria. I gobbled the dish, or more commonly in Jaltemba Bay, birria tacos, for years before learning that the ‘secret’ ingredient is goat meat (carne de cabra). It’s a common sight in the area to see goat herders along highways but I didn’t think about them as a source of meat, only for milk. Families keeping goats are colloquially known as chiveros ..read more
