I find original tacos and burritos available in the states often on the same menu where they are available in other manners. Maybe it's a regional thing, places where there is a large Hispanic community? When you take the food out of it's original context I think there's a freedom to experiment because there are fewer expectations. Also, Americans do this with everything, especially our own food. Like the recent proliferation of hamburger joints that do all manner of things to the burger, stretching its very definition.

>Also, Americans do this with everything A lot of Indian restaurants and street food vendors do it too, ha ha. E.g. Gobi Manchurian (a cauliflower version of Chicken Manchurian) is a real dish you can get in "Chinese" restaurants, or rather restaurants serving (Indianized) Chinese food in India. And Chinese Bhel (a made-up "Chinese" version of the Indian snack bhelpuri [1] - a sort of reverse adaptation, is found at street food vendor's carts or stands).
