Last night, I made a delightful meal by mixing two things that don’t normally go together–Taiwanese green onion pancakes and ground beef taco mix.
I asked Y to cook me two green onion pancakes, a breakfast staple back in Taiwan. Normally, you eat them with a fried egg rolled inside with a little bit of soy sauce paste like the one below.
Dubious about my plan, Y cooked me two green onion pancakes while I reheated some leftover ground beef and onion taco mix that I had made on Saturday afternoon. I also set out my favorite sauce, Ortega Medium Original Taco Sauce, and a small bowl of shredded cheese.
Then, I spooned the beef onto a green onion pancake, poured ample sauce, and covered with plenty of cheese.
The crispiness of the pancake resisted folding, but it eventually went over and formed a taco-like shape. Biting into the crisp outer layer and soft inner layer of the pancake before hitting the taco mix, sauce, and cheese really was something else. I wanted to savor it, but I made a short order of it because it was so good!
