Have you heard of a “tacro” yet? If not, this food trend might look slightly crazy to you. But trust us, it’s delicious, and you’ll want to give it a try if possible.
A tacro is, quite simply, a mashup between a taco and a croissant. Instead of using a tortilla or a taco shell like a traditional taco, the tacro stuffs a sliced-open croissant with taco ingredients.
This might be the finest French-Mexican fusion that the world has ever seen, right?
Although its origins aren’t completely clear, it seems that tacros burst onto the scene in February of 2018 in San Francisco, California in the United States.
A bakery called “Vive le Tarte” claims to be the creator of this mashup. It put various flavors and options of tacros out to its clients last winter to a rousing success.
Since then, more daring bakeries and restaurants have attempted to make their own version of the tacro to varying degrees of success.
Some of the most popular fillings for the tacro include avocado, chicken, pineapple, and pulled pork.
The creator of the tacro, Jimmy Houghton, says that the key is to find a harmony and balance of flavors.
What do you think? Would you try the tacro?
