Mix-Mix is a playful and colloquial Filipino term often used to refer to the popular Dessert Halo-Halo, which literally means "mix-mix" in English. It is a colourful and refreshing Filipino dessert made from a mix of shaved ice, sweetened fruits, jellies, beans, and other ingredients, topped with evaporated milk and often garnished with ice cream, leche flan (caramel custard), or ube (purple yam) halaya. The name reflects the way the dessert is prepared and eaten—by mixing all the components together before consumption.
Mixiote refers to a one of the dishes found in Honduras which is made of meat (lamb, chicken) wrapped in maguey leaves and then baked for hours in a wood-fired oven. Mixiotes is also described as steamed packets of seasoned mutton, whose contents may be rolled into thick tortillas and garnished with fiery Chiles de Manzana (very hot, yellow chili peppers) or Guajillo chilies.
