Agreed, Native American food is extremely diverse. Knowing that the continent was as populous as Europe on a much wider range of climate I suspect the food was way more diverse than Europe at the same period.
Also, Mexican food is not just Native American food, it’s a creolization of Spanish and Mesoamerican cuisine.
My point was just to say that native American cuisine deeply influenced the way we are eating today.
Pretending Native American food is just Mexican food is Eastern Woodlands erasure.
