Cardenas said it’s beautiful the way she looks right now. Every tear, she said, is nothing short of a miracle. So she collects them in a glass and shares them with those who find their way to this home.

Chef with beard invents a grilled-cheese ‘taco’ that isn’t a quesadilla
As our esteemed Associate Naranjero Gustavo ¡Ask a Mexican! Arellano has pointed out over and over, the taco is American as apple pie.
That’s why we weren’t surprised when we read reports of a marvelous new American “taco” creation, the grilled-cheese taco.

Originator FoodInMyBeard blog (original recipes and mashups by Dan Whalen) lays out the rationale:
