Get ready for @tacolibredallas next week, where I will head to Tejas to help judge. 😮 And thanks to @guidelive for the interview about #TacoLiteracy. I did the interview in a public library over phone, and when I hung up, a couple from New Mexico who overheard stopped to chat with me about green chile and flour tortillas. 😊🌮
Birria de res, al pastor, and carne asada tacos, with a scoop of guacamole, rolled into cones, at #TaqueriaCoatzingo. One of the top taquerías in #PueblaYork. More on Puebla York soon! #TacoLiteracy #queens #queensfoodways
Finishing up some #tacoliteracy research abt #PueblaYork & NYC's #TacosPlaceros. This one, torta de papa, is fried potato fritter, a slice of queso, jalapeño, and rice. 🌮😎
The difference for the Camden cheesesteak is the poppy bun. The cheese is like a broth, and here with extra onions. 🤤
A taco crawl with the maestro writer Rigoberto González (!!) through the barrio. Tacos de chorizo at #SanAntonioGrocery, a taco árabe from #BellaPuebla & the blessings of Lupita. 😇🌮😈🇲🇽🗽 #TacoLiteracy #queensfoodways
Barbacoa de chivo 🐐 in #PueblaYork in the back of #CincoDeMayo market. Only on weekends, as is the case for some of the best #tacos in #Queens.
@bareburger tacos? Yes, yes indeed. Smoked, pulled pork tacos topped with spicy mango fennel slaw, and chipotle mayo. And lit pork tequila flambe 🔥. Thanks to @dmndr ✨🌮✨
When in the South, chicken on a biscuit. Stopped by @localloafclt for the "the chicken & the egg": breaded chicken tenders, white cheddar, micogreens, chipotle-cheerwine sauce, and a poached egg on a bittermilk biscuit. 🤤
No notifications, then tweets abt Mexican food to tease that sliced bagel dude. 😂 @wearemitu
Thanks to the buena gente de #Charlotte and @centralpiedmontcc and @unccharlotte for inviting me to give a charla for #CivicEats. I started the day with a talk about #TacoLiteracy and community-engaged scholarship. After this, the group went on a walking tour around Central Ave where we had Nepalese, Israeli, and Syrian snacks and heard from local restaurant owners telling their stories about Charlotte foodways. We finished back at Central Piedmont CC's industrial kitchen for a Chopped-like challenge. My team made tofu tacos. 🌮
Back in the South: country ham on a biscuit. ✨
Al pastor, barbacoa de res, and carne asada tacos at this spot in north #Charlotte. As in Kentucky, the best tacos are always in the market taquería. #TacoLiteracy #CarolinaDelNorte
Now I get it. A monument to #PueblaYork ✨🇲🇽🗽✨
To #Charlotte tomorrow to give a keynote Friday about #tacoliteracy in the US South, the #SurLatinx ¡Nos vemos!
Some last-minute reading about flatbreads before heading to Charlotte for #CivicEats. I will be talking #tacoliteracy in #CarolinaDelNorte otra vez ✨🌮✨
Always trust the students. 😎 #QueensFoodways
The roti shop's bar--not the subject here but cool to look at all the same. The plain roti is my answer to flour tortillas in NYC. Today showed up to buy five to go. 😊 #queensfoodways
taco placero, el gusto es mio ✨🌮
Really, really, really wanted to like the tacos at this hipster spot in Pittsburgh, because rarely have I met a taco I couldn't love at some level. 😂 But as one must pass through a windowed kitchen to the dining area, first I noted no Latinx folks back there. But at least somebody was pressing flour tortillas--however directly to a conveyer belt (typical of Chinese Mexican taco spots in California and also parts of NYC). Nevertheless, when these two al pastor tacos arrived, first thing I discovered, alas, the masa de esas tortillas de harina was not fully cooked. 😮. I mean, I ate them, but it was like eating Crisco. 😂. #WaitTilTheyRise #tacoliteracy
Thanks to @strawberrypiez from the #QueensFoodways crew for this find from foodbloggersofcanada.com: a set of food writing prompts to generate text.
