event in Arizona

As we boldly stride into the new year, we find ourselves looking forward to the new and as of yet undiscovered and that includes the foods you may not have tried before today. Modern Tortilla has long been known as a food truck serving traditional food with a new age twist and even as you may have been following us for a while, there may still be Modern Tortilla menu items that you have yet to try and today, we invite you to color outside the lines of your normal tastes. This guide to something new found at Modern Tortilla will allow you to discover your latest obsessions.

Healthy Can Taste Good

One of the most common New Year’s resolutions is the one where we promise to lose weight and if you think that losing weight and eating Mexican food can not go hand in hand we are excited to prove you wrong. You may have seen our veggie taco on the menu, preferring to ignore anything with vegetable in the title, but trust us. The taste of this taco will stun and its heartiness will surprise, encouraging guests to discover a new and healthy taste they will love forever.

The Tortilla That Changes It All

Anyone who spent any amount of time in Arizona understands the importance of the tortilla when it comes to tacos and burritos, but you may not know that tortillas come in many different flavors as well. If this is a new concept for you and you find yourself feeling especially hungry in this first month of the new year, we invite you to sample our Modern Tortilla Southwest Steak Burrito. Wrapped in a chili flour tortilla that enhances the savory flavors of the meat, veggies, rice, and cheese that lie inside, its red hue offers a hint as to the flavor explosion you are about to ingest.

Not Just Food

Something new doesn’t have to be a food, it can be a beverage that is refreshing, sweet, and a little tart. We are, of course, talking about our house-made mason jar lemonade, coming in a variety of innovative flavors, and tasting like what we imagine heaven would if it had a taste. If you really want to savor a sip of the Southwest, try our Prickly Pear lemonade, and live like a native.

Life is better when you try new things but blending the new with the traditional will bring you greater joy.

Try Our Modern Tortilla 4th of July Mexican Food for your Next Party!

A taco from modern tortilla

It is difficult to believe but the year is half over and it is almost time to celebrate our favorite mid-summer holiday, one that we are even more excited about in 2022 because the 4th of July is on Monday giving most of us a bonus 3-day weekend and because after a dismal couple of pandemic years, organized fireworks are going to be exploding in the skies once again! The shows put on by our neighbors have always been entertaining, but oh how we have missed the big shows put on by the towns and cities that make up the Phoenix Metropolitan area! Even as you head out for a night of fireworks and fun, many happy Americans will be throwing pool parties to wish our nation the happiest of birthdays, and because it isn’t a party if you don’t have food, Modern Tortilla wants to join in the celebration with our 4th of July Mexican food menu!! 

Get Out of the Kitchen

Traditionally Americans gather in kitchens to create amazing potato salads and delicious desserts while the chief griller stands at the helm of their outdoor kitchen. A great tradition, yes, but we live in the desert, and do you really want to add more heat to the fire that is our lives right now? We thought not! Modern Tortilla provides a variety of ways to keep your guests fed and happy, including a taco cart or drop-off catering service for smaller locations or a full-sized food truck for those with all the necessary room! We even offer a more formal full catering service, if formality is what you crave, but for a holiday that celebrates our independence, the freedom to build your own tacos is definitely considered one of those inalienable rights we are always hearing about! If you’re wondering what a taco from our neighbors to the south has to do with America, however, we are here to tell you that Americans consume over 4 billion tacos every year and we can’t help but think you can’t get more American than that!  

A Taco in Every Hand

Many decades ago one of our Presidents promised a chicken in every pot but if he were alive today we definitely think he would amend that promise to a Taco in every hand, one promise that would surely bring a smile to every face! Wish the United States of America the Happiest of Birthdays with that same smile by choosing Modern Tortilla to cater your 4th of July festivities with our 4th of July Mexican food!

Menu Spotlight: The Steak Quesadilla

tacos in phoenix

Born and raised right here in Arizona, most of our Modern Tortilla staff has grown up on the simple joys of tacos and quesadillas, while the rest of the world is more familiar with grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwiches. That just makes us sad. Once you’ve tasted the explosion of flavor that accompanies a quesadilla dipped in salsa with just the right amount of heat, your life is forever changed!And when you stop to think about the basic quesadilla, consisting of nothing more than cheese and a crispy grilled tortilla, it’s just about as perfect a meal that’s ever been created—until now! We like to think we have enhanced perfection with our Southwest Steak Quesadilla and we really think you should try one for your next lunch.

The Steak Quesadilla: Delicious with Every Bite

When you combine two near-perfect foods, the outcome is destined to be unforgettable,and that’s what we have done with our steak quesadilla! We start with a grilled chili flour tortilla;the spice of the chili is hot, but not so hot that our northern friends unaccustomed to heat can’t handle it. Next, we prepare the carne asada,seasoning it to perfection and grilling it just the way you love. At this point, the scent of meat attracts hungry guests in hordes, and the sight of salivating masses brings a smile to our chef’s face because he knows the best is yet to come! A handful of sweet corn and a sprinkle of cilantro is about to be layered on, but first, comes the cheese. Gooey, sticky, and so delicious, our blend of Monterey and cheddar cheeses is generously spread onto the savory tortilla, followed by the perfectly cooked carne, and topped with the previously mentioned sweet corn and cilantro. Folded in half and grilled to a perfect crispness on both sides, our savvy Modern Tortilla grill cook knows the exact moment to remove this tasty treat from the grill to be cut into easily handled triangles.

As it is plated (or boxed) and prepared for your consumption, be sure to stop just a second and enjoy the beauty of the colors of your Southwest Steak Quesadilla: the red of the chili tortilla, the gold and white of the cheese,the rich brown of the steak, and the sprinkle of green from cilantro. This dish is a work of art that will only improve with each bite. Ok, go ahead—it’s time to take your first bite of paradise. It’s not necessary to tell us what you think;the ecstasy in your eyes will be plain for all to see!

The Art of the Meal

Modern Tortilla finds the beauty in simple blends of ingredients. Locally sourced and served fresh and hot, your palate will thank you with every bite! Think about us when it’s time to cater your next event or when you’re just looking for the perfect taste of a steak quesadilla on a random Tuesday afternoon!
