The tacos sampled were: Cochinita Pibil Carne Guajillo Pescado (Fish) I started with the carne guajillo, which is beef stewed in guajillo chiles and tomatoes The taco was topped with pickled onions, cheese, cilantro, and lime.

If you’re a judio celebrating your first or second night of Passover in a few days, then listen up, I have your brisket taco recipe right here. It’s not really kosher but who’s really keeping tabs? Here’s a spinach salad and hibiscus flower vinaigrette recipe that goes nicely with the brisket tacos.

Why? Because it’s in a fashionable part of town and I heard some gringo owns it that’s why. No rational explanation, just good old fashion hatin.’ To me good taquerias exist in the barrio, off a cart powered by a propane gas tank, and not on the corner of LaFayette and Bleeker Street. But, I was proven wrong. Damn I hate being wrong.

There are two taco vendors at this street market, I had limited funds on me so I went with the vendor towards the middle. I ordered one steak taco. It was good but homie put too much onion when I asked for a little bit, and it took me a minute to scrape most of it off.

I don’t think corn tortillas are allowed at a seder so this recipe is for those who live on the fringe. I use a slow cooker for the brisket, although it takes longer, the wait is well http://www.taconyc.com/2010/04/brisket-taco-recipe-aka-tacos-de-pecho.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (NS)2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554349242902361155.post-9179645245770994738Thu, 01 Apr 2010 05:07:00 +00002010-04-01T01:26:09.474-04:00ManhattanHell's Kitchentop choiceTehuitzingo Deli & Grocery 695 10th Ave. New York, NY 10039 between 47th and 48th Street (Hell’s Kitchen) 212.397.5956The New York Times rated them, the Daily News rated them too, even Time Out New York chimed in, but none of that matters unless Taco NYC gets into the mix. Tehuitzingo Deli is what living in NYC is all about, finding hidden gems in the least expected places.

For all my Jewish audience, I have a treat for you. The New York Times published a story last year on PATRICIA JINICH, who teaches regional Mexican cooking at the Mexican Cultural Institute in Washington DC. In the article she shares with readers a couple of recipes for the passover holiday with a Mexican acento. Maybe later I'll share my brisket taco recipe.

I’ll admit from the look of Manolo’s exterior I was a bit apprehensive about going in; I thought this was going to be another faux Mexican experience. I was pleasantly surprised to find they serve caldo de res (beef soup), huaraches, quesadillas, tostadas, chicken pipián (pumpkin seed sauce), mole enchiladas, and of course tacos.
