taco recipes ? Intriguing, isn't it? Well, yes indeed! In this blog post, you'll find
recipes for tacos that are NOT

Lili et Gordo , a store specializing in
Mexican ready-to-eat meals , we believe it's important to know that a
taco can't be called a
taco if it's not
Mexican . A true
Mexican taco is made up of three things: a corn tortilla, salsa, and meat. However, it's interesting to observe dishes around the world that resemble
tacos . Perhaps it was even the inspiration for them, who knows! So let's travel the world together to discover these dishes that look like
Mexican tacos .
Mexican taco recipe NOT Mexican no. 1: the piada in Italy
Piada is an Italian dish, typical of the Romagna sub-region, consisting of a flatbread made from wheat flour, lard or olive oil, salt, and water, which can be filled with sweet or savory ingredients. Once called "poor man's bread," it has become, like
Mexican tacos , a popular dish enjoyed by both locals and tourists. Although it is made at home, it can also be found in restaurants, but especially at small roadside stalls.
Mexican taco recipe NOT Mexican no. 2: bánh tráng nướng in Vietnam
Bánh tráng nướng, or Vietnamese pizza, is a relatively new trend in Vietnamese cuisine that emerged around 2010. It consists of a
bánh tráng , a thick rice cake, which can be topped with egg, minced pork, or dried shrimp. Fermented shrimp paste, fried shallots, scallion oil,
rousong (dried meat), hot chili sauce, and mayonnaise are then added. Similar to
Mexican tacos , there are many variations of the original
recipe .
Mexican taco recipe NOT Mexican no. 3: the puffy taco Texas
Tex-Mex cuisine is often confused with
traditional Mexican cuisine . It is a distinct cuisine with very different flavors. The puffy
taco is said to have originated with brothers Henry and Ray Lopez in San Antonio, Texas, in the 1950s. The puffy taco consists of a fried corn dough that puffs up during cooking and is then stuffed with meat, sauce, and vegetables. Obviously, the fried dough is deliciously crispy, but also incredibly greasy!

The French
taco , also called a "mattress," resembles a hybrid between a panini, a kebab, and a burrito. It consists of a wheat tortilla folded over and grilled, stuffed with meat, fries, and a creamy, processed cheese—the famous "cheese sauce." French
tacos can be found in street food stalls and fast-food chains.
