Tribal People Try Tacos

Every time the tribe has tasted tacos: 16 videos of first impressions from villagers in rural Punjab, Pakistan, usually Mexican food they have never seen before.

Also covers: taco, burrito, burritos, quesadilla, nachos, taco bell, enchilada, fajita

What it is

Tacos are Mexican: a corn or wheat tortilla folded around spiced meat or beans, with salsa, onion, coriander and lime. Burritos, quesadillas and nachos are the same ingredients in different shapes.

What to watch for

Mexican food is the cuisine the tribe gets on with fastest — chilli, coriander, lime, onion and slow-cooked meat are their own vocabulary. Corn tortillas taste a lot like makai ki roti, which comes up in almost every taco video.

The village comparison

A taco is basically a roti wrap, and the village has been folding roti around salan forever. Sour cream is the one element that meets resistance.

If you cook it: Warm the tortillas directly over the flame for a few seconds each side.
