This process, dubbed “McDonaldization” by a tortilla around morsels of food but rather the informal sociologist George Ritzer, entails technological rationaliza- restaurants, called taquerías, where they were consumed. tion to standardize food and make it more efficient.1 Or as In another essay I have described how the proletarian taco company founder Glen Bell explained, “If you wanted a shop emerged as a gathering place for migrant workers from dozen [tacos]…you were in for a wait. They stuffed them throughout Mexico, who shared their diverse regional spe- first, quickly fried them and stuck them together with a cialties, conveniently wrapped up in tortillas, and thereby toothpick. I thought they were delicious, but something helped to form a national cuisine.4 had to be done about the method of preparation.”2 That Here I wish to follow the taco’s travels to the United something was the creation of the “taco shell,” a pre-fried States, where Mexican migrants had already begun to create tortilla that could be quickly stuffed with fillings and served a distinctive ethnic snack long before Taco Bell entered the to waiting customers. Yet there are problems with this scene. I begin by briefly summarizing the history of this food interpretation of Yankee ingenuity transforming a Mexican in Mexico to emphasize that the taco was itself a product peasant tradition.
DOMENICA COOKS TORTA ALLA CREMA I came across this recipe while paging through a cookbook I bought in Italy on my last visit, in 2019: Le Stagioni della Pasticceria: 200 Ricette Dolci e Salate, by Italian pastry chef Martina Tribioli, with enticing photos by Barbara Torresan. It is, essentially a flan parisien—a buttery pastry shell filled to the brim with crema pasticcera (pastry cream) and baked. The flavor is delicate—vanilla and egg—just the sort of gentle flavors that evoke spring. If you’d like to punch it up a bit, you could serve it with a spring compote of rhubarb and strawberries. Or just scatter some berries on top and finish with a shower of confectioners’ sugar. Makes one 8-inch (20-cm) torta, to serve 8 INGREDIENTS For the base: 1 3/4 cups (225 g) unbleached all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon fine salt 6 ounces (170 g; 3/4-cup; 1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into cubes 1 large egg yolk 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk For the filling: 3 1/4 cups (750 ml) whole milk 1 to 2 vanilla beans 2 cups + 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon (220 g) sugar 4 large egg yolks plus 1 whole large egg 10 tablespoons (80 g) cornstarch Pinch of fine salt 1 cup (250 g) heavy whipping cream For serving: Fresh berries and confectioners’ sugar INSTRUCTIONS 1. Make the filling: Pour the milk into a saucepan and stir in the sugar. Split the vanilla beans and scrape out the seeds.

Pressed Chicken Tortas with Romaine Salad, Queso Fresco & Avocado
Pressed Chicken Tortas with Romaine Salad, Queso Fresco & Avocado In Mexican cuisine, pressed tortas are meat-and-vegetable sandwiches similar to paninis. Using a press turns the rolls perfectly crispy, while bringing together the flavors in the layers of filling. Here, we’re simply using a heavy pot to press our pan-toasted tortas—filled with spiced chicken, avocado, tomato and queso fresco (a crumbly Mexican cheese). On the side, we’re serving a refreshing romaine salad with a bit of a kick to it, thanks to the chile powder and cumin in the sour cream-lime juice dressing. Ingredients 4 Boneless, Skin-On Chicken Thighs 4 Torta Rolls 2 Limes 2 Romaine Hearts 1 Avocado 1 Tomato 1 Red Onion 1 Bunch Cilantro Knick Knacks 4 Ounces Queso Fresco ⅓ Cup Pepitas ½ Cup Low-Fat Sour Cream 2 Teaspoons Chicken Torta Spice Blend Makes 4 Servings About 700 Calories Per Serving Prep Time: 15 min | Cook Time: 35 to 45 min For cooking tips & tablet view, visit blueapron.com/recipes/fp154 Recipe #154 Instructions For cooking tips & tablet view, visit blueapron.com/recipes/fp154 1 2 Prepare the ingredients: Cook the chicken: Wash and dry the fresh produce.
