i didn't mean for it to coincide with cinco de mayo. i really didn't. i had chicken shreds that i stored in the fridge when i was making chicken stock. i didn't know whether to use it for chicken salad sandwich or tacos. i had tomatoes, avocados, and bell peppers and decided to make tacos instead.

i usually like my mexican food, al fresca. i don't like sour cream or creamy guacamole or lettuce or cheese in my tacos. this is the kind of mexican food i grew up with in my neighborhood in paramount.

our supermarket was a mexican grocery store. and their deli was full of carnitas, chicharons, and other goodies. we could buy fresh tacos at the convenience store always...

i drool when i think of it.
