January 2nd: Campechano Tacos

Why are they called “campechanos”? In Mexico there is a state called Campeche where the sailors used to arrive and their go-to beverage was usually a mix of whatever was available in the house.. With time the term “campechano” (from Campeche state) was used to refer to things that had mixed ingredients, thus the campechano taco.

January 7th: La Morera culinary center
