The deeper poi...Thanks for reading and commenting!<br /><br />The deeper point is that this is actually the super Mexican way to do it. This isn't a gringo take on Mexico food, it's a Mexican take on Gringo food.<br /><br />Mexican's don't think of tacos as a "dish", it's a DELIVERY system. Instead of eating food slowly and calmly, tearing off bits of tortilla to grab this or that chunk of food (or dab of sauce) with, tacos are a speedier on-the-go solution where you just roll the damn tortillas and get it over with. Anything rolled in a tortilla is a taco. Only gringos think tacos are a certain kind of delicacy. <br /><br />Exactly like "sandwiches" to an American. Eating slices of suckling pig plus hoi-sin sauce on toasted white bread is *totally* in the spirit of sandwiches. No American would disagree. Even though it's not a BLT or a peanut butter and jelly or a club - the "traditional" American sandwiches!Jim Leffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007232702717055047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4640470443420164863.post-39503251133294774222023-04-03T15:48:56.880-04:002023-04-03T15:48:56.880-04:00Native southern Cali here with a ton of Mexico tim...Native southern Cali here with a ton of Mexico time on my ticker. I love the way you get that tacos are basically an edible food delivery tool for whatever is on hand or what you like. Well done! Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
