Tacos

By : Izz Alyssa

Recognized as the most popular Mexican dish worldwide , the taco has become an art . Some say is the “art of eating with tortilla” and of course , Mexicans would never deny a taco to anybody . Hundreds of fillings can be put on a corn tortilla ! The most common are beef steak , flank steak , chorizo , offal , “al pastor” , hot and sweet marinated pork,chicken or beef . Exotic tacos are filled with fried brains, beef´s eyes, liver with onions, scorpions, bull testicles, escamoles, and a whole lot of fillings you could never imagine . Escamoles are ant larvae found only in central and southern México . The larvae are only found once a year and harvesting them is quite a delicate operation, making this a very expensive dish—a bit like caviar . by Izz Alyssa
