Hate to be that guy but chorizo, al pastor, limes, cabbage, and onions arrived with the Spanish.
Multiple species of onions are native to North America and were used both as food and medicinally prior to European colonization.
They were originally from either the Middle East or Asia and were brought in during the Columbian exchange. I won’t deny there might be other New World variants that I’m unaware of though.
This is fascinating. Use of onions predates writings IIRC. Which means we don’t have written record of any culture encountering it for the first time unlike say, oranges.
Explain… The only things there unrelated to the Spaniards invading are the fish, maize, and pulpo.
