Basket tacos are a popular street food in Mexico City, often served from vendors cycling around the streets. The tacos are filled with a simple filling of spicy chicken, before being folded over and left to steam in tea towels until gummy and soft.
Tacos de canasta are a Mexico City staple. You’ll see the taqueros around the city mainly in the hours of early afternoon on bicycles. You’ll need a basket or a large pot with a lid to assemble this dish, and the tacos are particularly delicious when served with a spoonful of salsa taquero, which you can get the recipe for here.
