So next time you’re at a taco stand, and you see those curly bits wilting in the heat, give them a chance. Order two, because one will disappear in about 45 seconds. Add a dollop of crema, some chopped onions, and a squeeze of lime—it’s like putting a hat on a dog: it just works.
Taco de tripa is proof that the best things in life are weird, messy, and a little unglamorous. It’s the friend who shows up with cheap beer and a great story. And trust me, after that first bite, you’ll be the one shoving a plate at your friend, saying, “Just eat it, you coward.”
You’re welcome.
