Mexican food is delicious, we all know that. But what’s the best thing on the Mexican food menu? Well, that debate is another. The margin for Mexican food is HUGE, and there are so many traditional and modernised dishes we all enjoy. But, the one Mexican dish that can never go wrong, or never taste wrong, is the taco.
For anyone who has never tried a taco, it’s basically just a crispy outer shell, made of tortilla chip, rounded into a half, although with space in between for the tasty stuffed filling, whether that be pulled BBQ chicken, 5 bean chilli, spicy beef chilli, the list is endless, not to mention the 3 grated cheeses, salad toppings, and then the all-important guacamole and sour cream, placed together on a groovy taco rack…
