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 &ndash; 19 years of age (hereafter termed &ldquo;children&rdquo;). 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 &ndash; March 2020. A complementary report (Dietary Data Brief No. 64) describes Mexican food consumption by U.S. adults 20 years of age and older.">

Notable exclusions from this analysis are beverages (e.g., horchata, licuado), desserts (e.g., flan, churro), fried vegetables (e.g, plantains, yuca) and soups (e.g, sopa de fideo).

For example, if a burrito was represented in the dietary data as flour tortilla, ground beef, beans, and cheese with guacamole added, all these components would be assigned to the &#x0201c;tacos and burritos&#x0201d; WWEIA Food Category along with similar items that were not represented by multiple foods, e.g, an item that assigned the food code &#x0201c;58102330&#x0201d;: Burrito, beef, with beans, cheese.&#x0201d;</p></dd></dl></div><div id="usdaddb63.s10"><h2 id="_usdaddb63_s10_">Data source</h2><p>Estimates in this data brief are based on one day of dietary intake data from WWEIA, NHANES 2017-March 2020 Prepandemic (<a class="bibr" href="#usdaddb63.ref5" rid="usdaddb63.ref5">5</a>). Day 1 dietary data were collected in person using the 5-step USDA Automated Multiple-Pass Method for the 24-hour recall. A total of 4,091 individuals 2-19 years of age (2,068 males and 2.023 females) provided complete and reliable dietary intake data. In the race-specific analyses (see page 2), individuals who were multi-racial or of a racial group other than those listed (339 individuals, of whom 46 were Mexican food consumers) were excluded. Likewise, in the income-specific analyses (also on page 2), individuals with missing family income information (413 individuals, of whom 57 were Mexican food consumers) were excluded. Sample weights were applied in all analyses to produce estimates that were representative of the U.S. population for the years of collection. Intakes of energy and nutrients were calculated using the 2017-2018 and 2019-2020 versions of USDA&#x02019;s Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (<a class="bibr" href="#usdaddb63.ref6" rid="usdaddb63.ref6">6</a>).
