The Chinese colleagues at #ShijiazhuangUniversity LOVE Mexican food. #TacoLiteracyInChina is breaking down walls, because walls have never stopped people, languages, stories, or food. 🇨🇳🇺🇸🇲🇽
🎶"Know when to fold 'em."🎶 Made my own roast pork taco with a bing tortilla. Note: Kenny Rogers can be taco music. Sometimes. #TacoLiteracyInChina #tacoliteracy
The bing is my tortilla in #Hebei. This giant one, as big as a sobaquera, is held together with egg. Thicker than a Tejano tortilla, but I imagine this with some queso and my ♥ sighs.
Another "taco" from the Chinese colleagues: bing filled with ham, egg, & scallions. If only I had a jalapeño 🌮🤠
Rolling with the #taco zapatos in #China 🇲🇽🇨🇳🗽🌮
A class about tacos yesterday, so the Chinese colleagues brought me ji dan guan bing for lunch, or what they felt were #ChineseTacos. Bing is as close to a tortilla as I can find here. 🌮🇨🇳
The Chinese colleagues learning about the resiliency of immigrant communities through foodways with the @southernfoodways film about the Ramirez family of #MexingtonKentucky 🌮🇨🇳
#tacoliteracy in #Shijiazhuang #Hebei #China. Teaching a writing class & introducing students to Mexican candy to practice sensory description. 🇲🇽 🇨🇳
Back to #Queens & to the local favorite #TaqueriaSinaloense for a carnitas en salsa verde taco placero. If you have never tried the frijoles here, you must. #tacoliteracy #ny
#TacoLiteracy returning to China next week! 🇨🇳 Stay tuned for the state of the taco in Hebei province. 🌮🌮🌮🌮
Gracias to all the buena gente who made it out to the #TacoLiteracy camino de #Pilsen. It was a warm day, but we hit up four spots @5rabanitos @carnitas_uruapanchi @birrieria_reyes_de_ocotlan @plzenchi for tacos de cochinita pibil, carnitas, birria de chivo, & shrimp. Along the way @sacred_agave poured some fine agave spirits from the regions we travelled. Special thanks to @makelit for the invitation & organizing the event. Adelante!
Return to @5rabanitos for the post-poetry-read with @makelit & the carnales. Celebrating with tacos carne asada, cochinita pibil, birria de res, and al pastor. The juicy carne asada had me thinking about the asada in Sonora. 🌮
Dios mio, the carnitas from the famous @carnitas_uruapanchi are the best. Be sure to say hello to Señor Güero Carbajal, kind owner who personally checks on all his customers. #Chicago #Pilsen #Tacoliteracy
The #Tacoliteracy tour to #Chicago starting in #Pilsen 🌮 @5rabanitos with the chingona cochinita pibil.
Note this #nyc more and more delis/bodegas are serving tacos & tortas. The reconq-east-a playbook, y'all. Try to say no to this #Queens carne enchilada taco over a ham & cheese hero.
Coming to Queens. ✨🌮✨
Coming soon #TacoLiteracy in #Chicago with @makelit = poetry 📖, tacos 🌮, fuego 🔥
Elote they call 'street corn' before catching the plane back to #nyc. Good times #LA
Bean burro, not burrito. That's what we call these in Southern AZ. #AlAndBeas bean burro was familiar: red salsa, mashed frijoles with cheese, I suspect milk too (Alvarez trick) to get them real creamy. Reminded me of Sal's Market, one of my middle school haunts for burros like this one. Didn't try the green chile, but save that for next time. 🌯 #TacoLiteracyEnCalifas
Scenes from El Mercado. #TacoLiteracyEnCalifas
