"You’re also starting to see new migrants coming into Mexico. For example, there are a lot of Lebanese migrants, and one of the things they bring with them is shawarma, or gyros—vertical rotisseries where they cook lamb, and they put it on little pita breads. But when they start putting [the meat] on tortillas, they’re called tacos arabes: Arab tacos. Again, it’s the second generation, the children of these Lebanese migrants, who change the recipe a little bit and start using pork instead of lamb. And they start adding a little pineapple. Tacos al pastor, which really doesn’t catch on until the 1960s, then becomes a standard Mexican dish that’s everywhere."

Taco expert Jeffrey Pilcher responding to the question, “So at the same time, what’s happening with tacos in Mexico?” | Where Do Tacos Come From?, Smithsonian Mag

I love this story, I love food, I love my Lebanese brothers and sisters, and I love the world.
