Taco Salad (in Shell)

Taco salad in shell: seasoned ground beef and salad layered into a deep-fried flour-tortilla bowl. An edible-vessel American Tex-Mex dish codified by Taco Bell in 1984.

Taco Rojo

A taco identified by its red sauce, the colour naming the dish before the filling does: tinga, picadillo, or red chile pork from the red pot of the Mexico City fonda counter.

Taco Placero

Taco Kit/Taco Night

American home-style tacos; ground beef with seasoning packet, hard shells, shredded cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream.

Shrimp and melted cheese folded into a buttered tortilla and crisped on the steel. A Mazatlán restaurant invented it for the Sinaloa governor in 1987 and named it after him mid-meal.

Taco Gobernador de Marlín

The governor's taco with smoked marlin in place of shrimp: flaked cured fish in a tomato-chile guiso, melted into cheese and griddled in a flour tortilla. A Sinaloa coastal staple.

Taco Gobernador de Camarón

The shrimp-forward gobernador: whole shrimp with roasted poblano and onion, sealed in cheese and crisped in a flour tortilla. The version most of the world pictures by the name.
