Hard-shelled tacos are notorious for their delectable yet dangerously crumbling composition, which is why the Tacone creation is deliciously ingenious.
Although I enjoy the crispy crunch of a hard-shelled taco as much as the next person, the inevitable mess makes this meal not so travel-friendly. The Tacone takes all the gooey fillings of this American-Mexican classic and wraps it up a crispy, waffle cone holder. Using an ordinary waffle maker with an untraditional batter, creator Nick began one mouthwatering journey. The result? A savory bite that did not result in a mountain of napkins or sauce-stained shirts. Nick states on his site that "during the process of eating it not a single thing fell out of it onto my plate!"
The tacone is a hybrid mash-up that transforms this savory meal into a functional sweet profile.
