Part 2 Already!
First, a photo of the second set of tacos as they came to me: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mindstalk/52212707803/
After which I decided to not be whiny gringo and to try to assemble them. Didn't 'shred', of course, but meat fell off the cooked chicken pieces easily enough. Then I added some rice and salsa, and voila, tacos. Undermines the idea of them as a convenient street food, but then my first tacos this trip came with a plate of steak and a plate of tortillas, so.
(Helps to not be whiny after I'd eaten something; hadn't eaten since a morning sandwich and banana, on top of the all the "do I have to fly into covid to keep my job?" stress.)
Then I did open the beans and had a rice+bean+salsa taco. Still have some rice and tortillas left, but after 4 multi-tortilla tacos + 3 more pieces of chicken, I'm filling up.
By the way, research has suggested that the Mexican definition of taco is "food in a tortilla", very generic like "sandwich" in the US. So if you're worried about the authenticity of your tacos, you can relax.
