Is Taqueria del Sol a contemporary Southern diner, or a glorified taco stand? Customers are apt to tell you it’s somewhere in between — with favorite menu items that straddle both sides of the border and illustrate the collaborative process between chef Eddie Hernandez of Monterrey, Mexico, and manager Mike Klank of Memphis, Tenn.
Here we have adapted one of those recipes for the home kitchen, with excellent results.
(Got a hankering for their famous chile-spiked turnip greens? You can find that recipe - Eddie's Turnip Greens - as well, at www.eveningedge.com).
