Burritos | Sant Pere

Tacos are the national dish of Mexico, dating back to the Mexican silver mines of the 18th century, when the word taco referred to gunpowder that was wrapped in a piece of paper and inserted into rocks. It was used to excavate the precious ore from mines and was called tacos de minero or miner's tacos. Today, the word is widely known to signify the leading street food and fast food item in Mexico &ndash; thin, flat griddle-baked tortillas topped with numerous fillings, folded and eaten without any utensils. A taco is basically anything eaten on a soft tortilla, and there is an infinite variety of them. In Sonora, in the north of Mexico, they eat the classic carne asada - thinly sliced meat grilled over coals and topped with salsa, onions, guacamole, and a lime wedge. In Baja, the topping consists of fried fish with cabbage and an acidic mayonnaise sauce. In Mexico City, sudados (sweated tacos) are the most popular option, filled with cooked and steamed meat. In Jalisco and Michoacan, they prepare carnitas, eaten in the morning or in the early afternoon, filled with deep fried pieces of pork that are sliced according to preference. Similar is the taco de cabeza, filled with pieces of cow's head that was steamed for a long time, and the customers can choose from slices of eyes, brains, tongue, lips, cheek, or ears. Tacos are mainly made of corn, except in the north, where wheat flour is used more often. They also differ in size, from the tiniest white tacos (blancas) to bigger ones, often made with blue corn. Most tacos come in pairs of two, in order to be able to hold all the flavorful and slightly wet ingredients. Some of them are fried until they become crispy and crunchy, in which case they're called tostadas. As anything can be a filling, there is a version made with fried veins from dried chiles, usually accompanied by salt, a tasty treat called tacos de venas. However, the standard is ground or shredded meat, cheese, potatoes, or vegetables and a topping of onions and coriander. Eaten at all times of day and night, one can find them on every corner in Mexico, in restaurants known as taquerias. Alternatively, they can be bought from numerous street vendors.

Burrito é um prato que consiste em uma tortilha de farinha de trigo que é embrulhada de tal forma que é possível envolver completamente o recheio saboroso no interior. O recheio consiste em uma combinação de vários ingredientes, como carne, feijão, arroz, alface, guacamole e queijo, entre outros. Seu nome significa pequeno burro em espanhol, e uma teoria popular sugere que ele deriva da forma como os sacos de dormir e mochilas apareciam nos burros que os carregavam. Alguns afirmam que o prato se originou no século XIX pelos vaqueiros do norte do México, fazendeiros da Califórnia ou mineiros de Sonora. A primeira aparição do burrito em restaurantes americanos foi registrada no início da década de 1920 em Los Angeles, quando o proprietário Alejandro Borquez abriu o Sonora Café e começou a servir o prato. Ele mudou o nome do restaurante para El Cholo Spanish Café, e ele ainda está em atividade. Depois que se tornou popular nos Estados Unidos, inúmeras variações do prato começaram a aparecer, como o burrito de frango tailandês, o burrito de porco chinês e o burrito de café da manhã.
