Would you like a slap on the face?🤭
I am not referring to a face punch, but to some delicious shredded beef tacos with refried beans😋.
‘Cachetadas’ are a type of taco🌮 originating from Tampico region in México.
Although the origin of their name is a mystery to me, I can assure you that this combination is delicious and simple to prepare👍.

'Cachetada' literally translates into slap. And whilst the origin of the name is a mystery, I like to think is because they are so tasty that when you try them is like a gentle and flavoursome slap on the face.
