At least once a day:

But it's true! (About the Mexicans. Most eat tortillas at nearly every meal, although some eat white, rolls (bolillos+ and +teleras.)
Myth: All Mexican food is "hot" (picante). The truth is that some is well-seasoned, but much is quite bland. Salsas and condiments are provided to add to your desired level of "heat".
Little known factoids: catsup is tremendously popular to put on many foods, including pizza. Low grade hot dog sausages are a treat on other foods, such as pizza and French Fried Potatoes.
Truth: It's hard to find a red ripe, flavorsome tomato, at least in the part of Mexico in which we live.
