Mexico’s vibrant answer to the shawarma kebab…

In the 19th century around 100,000 Lebanese immigrants flocked to Mexico to flee Ottoman rule and many of them settled in Puebla - where a fusion of the 2 cuisines resulted in the invention of the Taco Árabe.

Traditional lamb was substituted with chicken (or sometimes even pork) and cooked on a vertical rotisserie in the style of a doner kebab then piled into soft pitta breads with an array of Mexican salsas on the side.We’re playing around with them even more here with houmous in place of the traditional beans and garlic sour cream to represent the yogurt sauce used in the Middle East.

Spectacular recipe which we will make again. Not sure the tomato relish was necessary though

Lovely! Great to hear you'll be making it again - and thanks for the feedback about the relish, we'll take it on board when developing the recipe!

Really don't like Coriander so did without that but the rest was simply delightful. Great Houmous even without Tahini and a fab summer meal. The chicken was wonderful and the Fattoush a joy. Thank you.

You're welcome, looks fantastic as always! Thanks for sharing
