Tacos al gringo
Tacos come in endless varieties in Mexico, where they’re made with different spices according to the region and ingredients used. Tacos made with ground meat are most typical of the southern US, although they have long since entered the global culinary lexicon.
Tacos al Gringo (as we have lovingly named them) are good with hard or soft shells. Then it’s up to you to garnish them according to your tastes. The seasoned meat also makes a great stuffing for oven-roasted vegetables.
