Hiking up #Qingcheng Mountain & ¡zás! hay tamales. 🤠 Steamed rice masa wrapped in corn husks, further confirming my theory that the gente of #Sichuan are primos with Mexicans. 😉 🇨🇳🇲🇽 #TacoLiteracyInChina
ALL the 🌶!! 😍 #chengdu #sichuan #china
Potato chips in #China. Mexican tomato chicken, sounds like a winner.
Chinese chicharrón got me like 😲. Strolling through #JinliStreet and coming across this, I had to stop for a quick bite. I have to say, #Colombian gente have the best chicharrones, but this version ranks up there. Really wished I had a lime though. 🐼. #TacoLiteracyInChina #tacoliteracy #Chengdu #Sichuan #China
The tears are those of joy, gente. 😂 So many chiles & peppercorns, I cry on the regular.
Yes, the chiles of #Chengdu are 🔥. The aisles of the supermarket left me in awe, & of course I stocked up. "La" means hot, & when warned abt some dishes I respond, with my translator, "墨西哥人" or "Mòxīgē rén" sticking a thumb to my chest. 墨西哥人 means Mexican. And the response, "ah okay, okay." 😊🇲🇽🇨🇳🌶 #tacoliteracy #TacoLiteracyInChina
Give it up to @coreanoskitchen for making their own corn masa (corn imported from USA) & slinging bulgogi tacos. California food truck to Texas to Seoul. Legit, legit, legit tortillas. Also some fine salsas. Told the server I was a fan of the tortillas, she sd, "Glad you liked them. After six years of working here, I can't stand looking at tortillas." 😂 #TacoLiteracy
Best barbecue experience ever. When the ribeye tastes like butter, 🤤. Beef ribs also 🔥. Last day in #Seoul before heading to #Chengdu.
Just leaving this here for a second. More to come soon!
A trip to #GwangjangMarket to explore #Seoul foodways. Fantastic kimche, pancakes, chiles, and, of course, welcoming Korean folks. And a fun chat about Mexican food and fried chicken with a dude who liked my @unitedtacosofamerica_ cap. 🤠
Last tacos in the 🇺🇸 before heading to Asia. The #CarneEnchilada at #HorchataDeli is the best in the barrio, bright red and crispy. Famous for the giant tacos placeros, but all the tacos are 🔥. #tacoliteracy #nyc #ny #queensfoodways
First stop #Seoul then back to #China for some translingual literacies & foodways fun. 🐼 🌮
Quick taco stop at @tacoschiwas in #Phoenix before heading back to #nyc. That #TacoChiwa pork with diced Anaheim pepper and covered in that famous #Chihuahua cheese, 🔥. The barbacoa and carne asada were also 👌. 😎 #phx #az #tacoliteracy 🌮
Hadn't spent much time in #Willcox for years, but headed south from #Safford with my sister & bro-in-law to check out a couple spots. Isabel's is one of the best #AZMex restaurants in #SouthEastAZ just off the I-10. And the owners also perform danza. ♥🇲🇽. In this part of AZ, much, much ♥ to them for that. 😊 These carne asada on top of Anaheim peppers stuffed with cheese on flour tortillas, with a side of charro beans and rice, 🤤. Note the cabbage too, because #Sonora 🤠 #tacoliteracy #arizona #az
#ArizonaBurrito voy! Back in my hometown of #SaffordAZ and living the tortilla de harina dream. 😂🌯 And thankful for SoCal diffusion of Los ___tos (fill in blank with Be, Filiber, or, as here, Jilber) for hefty 24-hour burritos, the kind that don't have rice in them, cabrones. 🤠 #tacoliteracy #arizona #az #gilavalley
It may be #BurgerHouse in #Miami #Arizona but it is the burritos that bring me back each time I pass through. A bean and chile colorado burrito and a bean and chile verde burrito, en route to my hometown.
Best mole in #NYC at @lamoradanyc with fresh tortillas & the magical mole Oaxaqueño. Always a special visit to one of NY's treasures. #tacoliteracy #mexny #mexicanfoodways
Treated a couple of graduate students to these ricos tacos at @habanerocp after the #RSAInstitute workshop on #FoodwaysRhetorics. Poblanos in #Maryland serving up antojitos like memelas (seen here) as well as the usual suspects, tacos de bistek, barbacoa (de chivo!) and the surprise 🐙 taco. #TacoLiteracy
Sizzler studies for the #foodwaysrhetorics workshop at the #rsainstitute ✨
Al pastor es mi señor 😈. Pero, after heading to a Jewish diner in Bayside the other day & noting how smokey, crispy pastrami replaced bacon on burgers, I wondered abt pastrami on a trompo. Don't doubt my faith, these are natural thoughts. 😇 #AllTacosAreGodsNiños
