The Mexican Food Experience II

One of our favourite food was tacos.  They were a bit different compared to the kind we make at home, but were basically meat wrapped in 2 small flour tortillas.  We liked arrachera (beef) and chorizo (pork sausage) the best.  Plus lots of tomato and onion salsa on top with as much hot sauce as you could tolerate.  We would buy these at the markets, the best being the Friday market at Llano Park, not far from our school.  For under $1 CDN, you could have five tacos which was about all one needed.






I tried another street vendor food, the torta.  A Torta is essentially a sandwich, made in a bun.  Many options for the contents of the sandwich - chicken, chorizo, ham....  Usually grilled and best eaten warm.
