Ch-ch-ch-chivo! 🐐. Barbacoa you know it. #tacoliteracy
Sunday means tacos at the barrio favorite, with the serious chorizo. I have learned this is not Colombian chorizo, but from a butcher in Corona, and this one spiced with jalapeño. #tacoliteracy
Back at it again with that Sinaloense machaca. Another stop on the #tacoliteracy camino, coming soon!
The #tacoarabe at #MiBellaPuebla is one of the best tacos in #Queens. First stop on the #tacoliteracy camino coming soon.
The legend! @tortillerianixtamal #mexny
Profe B @thisfeedsme leading discussion during #tacoliteracy today on storytelling, writing with community commitment, honoring the voices of immigrant folks, listening with heart, and following the politics and economics linked in stories. Great to learn from her expertise!!
The #Arepazo yes those are shrimp on quail eggs, with a piece of chircharrón at the top. Also shredded beef and chicken with plantain stuffed inside the arepa. 🇨🇴
Some Taco Crew comments on this passage from page 61 of #OurSacredMaizIsOurMother by @dr_cintli below porfas. #tacoliteracy
Taqueria scene: Sinaloa in Elmhurst, Queens, #PueblaYork #mexny #tacoliteracy
Birria on maíz & machaca on harina = the dynamic duo.
Chil♥ri♥ ... gracias a dios for #TaqueriaSinaloense to bring the flavors of Sinal♥a to #Queens
A chile relleno taco blanketed with guacamole. A taco de chile relleno that is not a taco placero, mind. Relleno de queso, pero también de ♥ by the fine gente Poblana at #SanAntonioFarmMarket in #LosAltosDeYacksón #Queens
Some highlights from the @queenseats #tacoliteracy camino with the new comrades. Couldn't stay for the whole thing, but they did hit up my favorites including #BellaPuebla #TaqueriaSinaloense and, yes, #TortasNeza and also introduced me to a couple new spots. Met some buena gente from the taquerias too, more folks sharing stories, speaking Spanish, and making chistes.
The taco de pernil, the NYC Poblano special. #tacoliteracy
Always had a good feeling about this mercado but had never been. Finally went with the fine gente from @queenseats and found some of the best tacos de borrego in the Jackson Heights. La señora working the grill said they have been selling tacos on the weekends for the last couple years. #tacoliteracy
Fantastic taco de pulpo in #Queens with the good folks of @queenseats new friends sharing the ♥ for 🌮s and practicing #tacoliteracy
Friday. You know what that means. Stopped by the Poblano gente for a taco de chicharrón and tried the pernil. O that pernil! One of the top tacos de Queens. Topped with nopales and guacamole. #tacoliteracy
After maestro Robert Sietsema gave a guest talk in #tacoliteracy today, I took him to one of my favorite spots in #JacksonHeights for a serious #TacoPlacero de chile relleno & a torta de huevo con salchicha at the #HorchataDeli on 90th Street. When he saw the giant taco he said, "Oh my!"
A café de olla & a couple of brownies made with Oaxacan chocolate from @lanewyorkina to keep me going before giving a lecture to the Food Studies jovenes at #NYU ✨
Twice in one week, @lostacos1 with the #alpastor quesadilla on harina, #carneasada on maíz, and for the first time, a tostada. My pick: Al pastor on a flour tortilla, con queso, or what they call the quesadilla. #Tijuana in #NYC #TimeaSquare
