The Mexican Taco -- A New And Unique Take
I had just finished packing my bags to go on a two-week vacation when I remembered that rather than just leaving my house walking distance towards the beach, I was also leaving my favorite foods! How I would be able to go without South Florida dining for so long was pretty hard to accept, so I decided to go out for one last meal before I left. I knew that on my return I would be doing the same exact thing. I decided to go for something new in honor of the occasion, and I ordered the popular new Pyrogrill Mexican tacos. I knew I was in for a treat, as is always the case in a South Florida establishment, but I did not know that I would be this pleased! What an incredible symbol of both my reluctance in leaving my favorite city, and the excitement of going somewhere new. One thing was for sure, there would not be any tacos that tasted this good where I was going.
It all began with the protein station. There are so many different options for each and every diet, from low fat to vegetarian. Thankfully for vegetarians (and meat eaters for that matter) there are so many alternatives that you can turn to for nutrition. These ingredients are really in a league of their own, and you would be hard-pressed to find anything that matches the caliber of quality that these tacos are enriched with! Be sure to visit Jupiter burritos sometime in the near future!
Regardless of your eating choices, you'll need to get some sort of protein. Luckily protein comes in all sorts of different foods, including beans! South Florida's beans are really some of the greatest, you've got to try them. The black beans that I dined on were extravagant and like none I've ever tasted before. And as if it couldn't get any better, I was introduced to a rare black bean hummus! The soft texture did everything to up the taste value on the incredible mexican taco.
Once you're finished with the beans, you have even more protein options available. If you don't eat meat, your protein journey ends here, though I think you'll be happily content with your taco. Among the meat choices are chicken, chicken breast, steak, and pork. The chicken breast is the most opportune for those looking to keep their taco healthy. If you're a fan of organic products, then you should know that many South Florida restaurants carry organic beef!
Yet another plus for the mexican taco is that it is not in fact just one taco. It is actually three soft shell tortillas that are all delicious, warm, and fresh! So now you're on to the next section, containing things such as veggies, sauces, etc. Your first order of business in this section for the mexican taco is the sour cream. Sour cream really makes a taco like the mexican taco, it compliments every other ingredient that the mexican taco is comprised of.
Before you know it, you'll be making decisions on what type of cheese you want. Again, you'll be greeted with a wide variety of South Florida's cheese selection. On the mexican burrito, your best bet is definitely cheddar cheese. The sharp taste and incredible texture of cheddar cheese is really one of a kind. So when adding it to so many other phenomenal ingredients, you've got to expect the best!
Then you'll want to go with the crisp, fresh lettuce that South Florida has to offer. It is always such a disappointment spoiled lettuce spoils your meal, and I was more than happy to find out that I wasn't going to feel this disappointment. What a simple, complimentary ingredient! Who could ever imagine a taco tasting this good?
Finally, you have to put the finishing touches on such a ingenious taco. This can be easily accomplished with your choice of completely different, but completely delicious sauces. For the mexican, the recommended topping is hot or mild salsa. It's lucky that there is this option, because some of my friends can't stand food that is too spicy. And some of my friends can't get enough!
Essentially, the Mexican taco is easily my new favorite item on South Florida's menu. It's really due to their incredible technique in making their wrap. It's near impossible for any other city to match the prestige of Florida cuisine!
