Hard Taco

What is it?

Crispy corn shells hold your choice of protein, salad, salsa and sauce, with the usual Zambrero build folded in. Each taco is fried or baked until firm, then filled just before serving, so the shell stays brittle and gives way in big shards rather than bending like a soft tortilla. Compared with the brand’s burritos and bowls, this format leans much more on texture than warmth. The corn shell brings a toasted, slightly nutty note, while the fillings can be customised from the standard range, including beans, lettuce, tomato, cheese and guacamole. Usually sold as a single taco or in a pair.
