It’s amazing in a handmade tortilla and dressed with salsa chile de árbol.Then there are taco challenges such as the Austin vegan taco cleanse and, in Dallas, the 60 Day Taco Challenge undertaken by Jeff Old and documented on Facebook. He took some time out of his taco itinerary, which is nearing its end, to answer some questions for the Taco Trail.
Taco Trail: What sparked the taco challenge?
Jeff Old: It started from a conversation I had with my wife. I was bragging about how much I loved tacos and that I could eat them every day.
