Ground beef, fried potatoes, sautéed onion, drowned in cheese sauce, and wrapped in a tortilla. French tacos aren't Mexican or Californian or even Tex Mex. They come from a culture of North African fast-food-connoisseurs based in Southern France. The tacos, with the kebab and burger, represent a mode of cuisine known as street cooking, a culinary genre which occupies increasingly contested cultural ground: cities want to ban them, schools refuse to serve them, politicians have them in their sights.
Can France decide — to tacos or not to tacos? 🇫🇷🌮
