I remember having “Indian Tacos” (Native American, not Hindee) when I was at a fair or large flea market, and they were like a regular taco, but were made on fry bread instead of a tortilla, and they were loaded with taco toppings and absolutely delicious…….. one of my forever favorites ……I just wish they were not so hard to find !
So do you fry the dough and then form a bent taco shell while the fried dough is pliable, or do the toppings just go on top of a piece of flat fried bread??

Lots of search results came up in Spanish, and the nutrition label is bilingual. They started in Mexico City. I assume it's still made there. I've never heard of it.

I have been wanting some gazpacho for the last week or so, and today, I ordered what i needed from Walmart along with my regular order.
It still has to sit and meld the flavors together, but already is pretty delicious and satisfying. Here is the recipe I used.

I have never tried gazpacho. For some reason, the thought of cold soup does not appeal to me...but I would try it if it were put in front of me.

The idea of cold soup did not seem appealing to me either.
Soup just seems like a hot food. I choose to think of gazpacho as chilled chopped veggies, more like an eatable salsa, that you eat with a spoon instead of dipping it with a tortilla chip.

I usually use the food processor, but I had the blender handy, and just processed the tomato juice and veggies in parts. I did add a carrot to mine because i like carrots and they are healthy, so I blended it up first, since carrot chunks take a bit more blending . Next time, i will get the food processor out.
It is time to have it out in the kitchen again anyway.

The first time I made it, I didn’t’ realize that the veggies are supposed to have little chunks, so I made it in the blender and had a thick V-8 type of drinkable gazpacho, and I just added some ice cubes and drank it . It was great in the heat of summer !

(Actually, you could heat it up and make it into a nice hot cup of veggie soup. I am trying to remember if I did that or not, but you certainly could, and still have the crispy veggies mostly raw like they are supposed to be in gazpacho.)

1¼ cups milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 teaspoons baking powder

Pinch of salt

TOPPING
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; set aside. In a bowl, using a large mixing spoon, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, vanilla, and egg until combined. Pour into prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar-cinnamon mixture over the top of the batter and then sprinkle the chopped nuts over that. Drizzle the melted butter over top. Bake for approximately 30-35 minutes or until tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Serve warm. Leftovers freeze well.

When COVID hit I satisfied a backlog of appliance desires. One of the things I I bought was a hand crank pasta machine. I also get farm-fresh eggs, so that makes it even better. The noodle pasta is great for making scampi, but the sheets of ravioli are the best! I made large sausage/ricotta ones, and small 3 cheese ones.
