A culinary preparation that combines the convenience of pre-made pastry with the familiar flavors of a Mexican-inspired dish. It characteristically involves shaping pre-made, often refrigerated, dough into a form suitable for containing seasoned ground meat, cheese, and other typical taco fillings, and then baking it until golden brown.
Its appeal stems from its ease of preparation, making it a popular choice for quick weeknight meals or casual gatherings. The use of readily available ingredients and minimal culinary skill required contribute to its widespread adoption. This fusion approach offers a textural contrast between the flaky, buttery crust and the savory interior, presenting a distinct alternative to traditional taco preparations.
