Adobo is the Philippines national dish and a favorite with many people here in the Islands. Adobo is not only a dish, but is also a subtle of cooking. What most people think of when they hear the word "adobo" is a stew with the basic elements of chicken and pork in a sauce of white vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and peppercorns. The variations are endless and whether served dry or moist, whole or shredded, the subtle sourness that makes the dish unique is always present.
Almost anything can be cooked adobo style: beef, fish, shellfish, and vegetables, in addition to pork or chicken, are excellent.
Ingredients
3 pounds chicken thighs, cut into serving pieces
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon peppercorns, crushed
1 teaspoon brown sugar
5 garlic cloves, crushed
3 bay leaves
Salt to taste
Combine all ingredients in a pan, cover, and allow to marinate one to three hours. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Uncover the pan and allow to simmer for an additional 15 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated and the chicken is lightly brown. Serve with white rice.
Serves: 4 to 6

Being of Mexican orgins. I find your question rather general and a typical of a less cutltured person.
The truth of the matter is because American is such a divers nations there is no such thing as a typical meal in America. Not only that but to asume that your meal is the typical meal of your nation is presumptious and silly. Not everyone can either afford or prefer such meals.
There are Asians, Mexicans, Mid-Easterns and many other people from diffrenet nations and cultures. All of which have brought with them there stylf of cooking.
I will say this thought 76% of Americans eat fast food or ready made meals.
I eat frijoles on the daily with my Mac and Cheese.

I can not tell you what a typical meal in the U.S might be but I will share with you what I made for dinner tonight. I live in Minnesota, summers are warm and humid. I often use the BBQ grill to cook outside so I don't heat up the house.
Tonight I grilled 4 pork chops that were seasoned with red pepper cayenne, salt, peeper, garlic salt. I also sliced up a pineapple. Every night my wife and I have a leaf salad with sliced vegetables, carrots, tomato's, cauliflower, broccoli, green pepper and onion. Last, I boiled several ears of corn which were served at dinner along with plenty of butter. I use a simple vinegar and olive oil for my salad.

I'm from the U.S.A. and a very typical meal here is spaghetti and meatballs.
Meatballs
1 lb lean ground beef
3 slices bread cut into cubes
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese(hard salty white cheese)
1 tsp dried basil
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Mix bread with milk , egg, basil, salt and pepper. Stir until it becomes a smooth mixture. Add beef and parmesan cheese to bread mixture and mix gently until mixture is smooth. Form into 1 inch balls and refridgerate for 30-60 minutes.
The Sauce and Spaghetti
1/4 cup olive oil
raw meat balls
2 - 28 ounce cans crushed tomatoes, (or 2 -28 ounce cans diced tomatoes and a 4 oz can of tomato paste.)
1/2 cup red wine
1 Tbsp dried basil
1 tsp salt
1 lb packaged dried spaghetti noodles cooked according to package instructions.
Heat oil in frying pan and brown meatballs on all sides. Drain excess oil from pan and deglaze pan with wine. Add remaining ingredients (except spaghetti) to pan and cook 10-15 minutes scraping up particles from bottom of pan. Serve sauce and meatballs over spaghetti.
Yummy!

Sounds yummy! A typical meal in my part of the USA (south) might be Jambalaya: Cook rice with tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, smoked sausage (similar to chorizo), chicken or shrimp, and whatever else you like. Serve with crusty bread.

I am born and raised of mixed culture/ food in America. I have eaten many different foods from people who are from all over the world. I would go to a local lending library preferably in the biggest city near you and take home/ or research and take notes or copy some cook books on foods from other places including the U.S.
