The Los Enchilados photo project is a kind of essay exploring the roots of Mexican food culture, which is distinguished by the incredible sharpness of dishes. In Mexico, there is nowhere without hot pepper. There are 64 types of chili peppers. Hot pepper and tortilla are the main ingredients in the gastronomic art of Mexico, as well as bread and wine in France.
