Taco Meat: A Taste of Mexico
Taco Meat: A Taste of Mexico
The humble, yet tasty taco has been around the North American continent for longer than the first European settlers. There are as many versions of taco sandwich recipes as there are cooks! It is a traditional Mexican dish made from a corn or wheat tortilla rolled or folded around a delicious filling. It can be made with taco meat or ground beef, lamb, shellfish, diced vegetables and shredded cheese. It is typically eaten without utensils by picking it up with the fingers. Accompanying garnishes include salsa, diced tomatoes and onions, shredded lettuce, cilantro and sour cream.
Taco meat is distinctive because of its unique seasoning which can be mildly or strongly spicy. The Mexican dish has become very popular in the U.S. as an alternative to regular sandwiches as a menu or daily special item in dining establishments and restaurants. It is a low cost item to prepare and is not labor intensive. For health conscious patrons many restaurants now offer a taco salad with fresh greens, tortilla strips, taco meat and all the usual garnishes.
The Food Network’s Chef Tyler Florence prepares his tacos using grilled marinated flank steak. He uses a mojo marinade made with garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, lime juice, orange juice, vinegar and olive oils. He serves the grilled meat inside corn tortillas with freshly made salsa and taco fixins’.
