Mexican food the Arkansas from Southern Foodways Alliance podcast Gravy. Notice the descriptions of Springdale, does it sound familiar? Notice the aspects of diversity and immigration in the story.

Also note this USDA map of poultry production.

The NY flour tortilla game has stepped up with @vistahermosaproducts tortillas, produced by @tacombi. Say what you will abt tortillas made without manteca (I have plenty of opinions 😂), but these are made with avocado oil, yuca, and wheat flour, & are the BEST in #PueblaYork, a flour tortilla desert. Note: I will still always remain loyal to @micasatortilla from my hometown #SaffordAtizona for the top spot, shared with @burritoslapalma in #OrangeCounty of course. So now the freezer is packed with multiple varieties of flour tortillas. My dream is a tortilla rack. 😂

The children are our future. But if you aren't present when the chicharrones are hot, pues ni modo, mocosos. #tacoliteracy

Nation, listen. We could still have taco trucks on every corner. The taqueros on #RooseveltAve in #Queens are our beacons, nation. Vote #Trompo2020 ✨🌮✨ #tacoliteracy #tacos #lonchera #alpastor #trompo #PueblaYorkIsTheFuture #nyc #mexny

So, do you come here often? #TacoLiteracy #tacos #queens #queensfoodways #queensny #nyc #ny #PueblaYork ✨ NW corner of Roosevelt & Junction Blvd. ✨

Cuando no quieres ser naco, cualquier tipo de taco. #ConTodo 🤠🌮

Thán thán tharán! The return, #PueblaYork edition.

Have been dreaming of the time I wd be able to make it back to #Philly for a Saturday at @barbacoachef. Learned more abt how the restaurant brings chivos from Carolina that come up to Camden for butchering, in prep for the weekend, and why pancita is a choice item on the menu. In this way, the Mexican foodways networks regionally link barbacoa traditions with larger transnational ties to culinary knowledge, people, labor, ingredients, and, in the case of this particular restaurant, social justice and culturally sustaining community building. #TacoLiteracy #philly #philadelphia 🌮

Oaxacan chocolate to start the day, and then a sweet li'l suprise. 😂😝🌮😊 #philly

The best #BirriaDeRes in #NYC & if you never tried a mulita, run along! 🏃 #tacoliteracy #queens #JacksonHeights #queensfoodways #queensny #nyc #ny #nyeats #eatnyc

Happened upon #ElTajin so dropped in for one asada & one pastor, on freshly made corn tortillas. These one will leave me with happy memories. 😊🌮 #Columbia #Missouri #MO #TacoLiteracy

When in #Columbia hit up the local taquerias. First, barbacoa & al pastor at #OsoMexicanGrill. Gente from #Michoacan who started with a lonchera, and opened their first resraurant three weeks ago. Suerte! #Missouri #MO #Columbia #TacoLiteracy

The famous #TomatoPie of #Utica 🍅

#TacoLiteracy to @mizzou next week, wherein our hero will further delve into mechanics of eating a Rosita without it crumbling. Participants will gain from this technique, affording them the option to use the line in the future: "If I could handle this marzipan without breaking it, imagine how I cd handle yr heart." 😍 ♥ 🌮 #🌈TheMoreYouKnow✨

My first story for @culinarybackstreets about #GoodGoodMexicanGrill in #Chengdu and, yes, those flour tortillas are made with manteca and are 🔥. 😎🌶🇲🇽🇨🇳🇺🇸 #tacoliteracy

The five T's: tortillas, tamales tacos, tortas, and TENURE. #TacoLiteracy introduced me to a world of #foodways learning & thinking, but my case for promotion was with the research I have done among families y gente. That has been what I have loved most abt this road, to know there is a kind of public-engaged scholarship where academics can build relationship with people, share stories, friendship, trust, pues, en confianza. You figure how good plays a role in this. Because it has always been abt care, and I thank all the mentors who have cared for me along the way. So many stories, so many lives touched. And many more still yet. And tacos too. claro que yes, cabronxs. 😊🌮

Happy little 🌮s.
