A fiesta on a plate
Mexican food is bold, colourful and packed with flavour, and this puzzle gathers the lot. You'll be finding the classics — the TACO, the BURRITO, the QUESADILLA and a basket of NACHOS — plus the dips that make them sing, the SALSA and the GUACAMOLE.
Because every new puzzle reshuffles the menu, no two Mexican food word searches are the same. One round a backwards ENCHILADA hides in a corner; the next a diagonal TORTILLA wraps across the middle.
Fillings, sides and a sweet finish
There's so much more to explore. Load up on a sizzling FAJITA, a steamy TAMALE, slow-cooked CARNITAS and spicy CHORIZO, with REFRIED BEANS and melty QUESO on the side. Add a spark of JALAPENO, a slice of AVOCADO and fresh CILANTRO — then finish with sugary CHURROS.
It's a tasty fit for a food topic or a lesson on flavours from around the world. Tracking down Q-U-E-S-A-D-I-L-L-A turns spelling practice into a flavour fiesta.
How to play
Drag across a word, or click its first and last letter — both work. Each dish you find locks in with its own colour and ticks off the list, so you always know what's left on the menu.
