I can safely say that after 131 days of
TDT, I was fairly certain that I had seen every conceivable means available of
assembling a taco. Now, I am not saying I had experienced every kind of taco out there (never would I claim such
knowledge of the infinite versatility of the mighty taco), but I figured there were only so many ways to put stuff into a tortilla. Such is the folly of mankind. In a tale that is as old as time itself, I followed in the footsteps of innumerable other "great minds" who claimed to have achieved a level of experience with a subject (be it politics, religion, or tacos) so complete there was no aspect of it with which they were not familiar. As has happened each time man has overstepped the bounds inherent in his finite mind, I was put back in my place today at
Taqueria La
Cumbre. At the majority of
taquerias, each taco comes with two corn tortillas. When I am feeling particularly health
conscious, I will discard one of these tortillas, thus lowering the calorie and
carb content significantly. This was my plan today, but when my two
deluxe chicken tacos arrived, I was perplexed to find them stuck together! La
Cumbre had put cheese in between the tortillas giving them an extra level of
queso-y
gooiness! Humbled by this as of yet unseen
preparation technique, I ate my tacos and mused over what other secrets of taco-ism I might uncover before this amazing year is over!
