Excerpt

Tacos, burritos, and other Mexican foods account for an ever-increasing segment of the food market, with most of the growth taking place in North America (; see definition of “Mexican foods” on page 8). However, despite their popularity, there is a lack of publicly available information about consumption of these foods. The purpose of this report is to describe intake of select highly reported Mexican foods by U.S. children 2-11 years and adolescents 12 – 19 years of age (hereafter termed “children”). The prevalence of consumption by selected demographics, the types of foods that are consumed, and their contributions to energy and nutrient intake will be presented. This analysis is based on one day of dietary intake data from What We Eat in America (WWEIA), National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017 – March 2020. A complementary report (Dietary Data Brief No. 64) describes Mexican food consumption by U.S. adults 20 years of age and older.
