Introducido en la d\u00e9cada de 1920 por inmigrantes libaneses, se elabora con carne asada en trompo, servida en pan de pita con salsa de jocoque y cilantro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El medio de prensa The Splendid Table, este platillo adapta m\u00e9todos culinarios \u00e1rabes, como el uso de especias como comino, a sabores mexicanos. Restaurantes como Tacos \u00c1rabes Bagdad, establecido en 1928 en Puebla, mantienen esta tradici\u00f3n con t\u00e9cnicas tradicionales de cocci\u00f3n de cordero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Otros platillos, como el kibbeh, una preparaci\u00f3n de carne molida y bulgur, se han integrado en la cocina poblana y yucateca.
