## Resource

Barbacoa, brisket and carne asada are taco staples in Texas. But beef prices are continuing to rise due to drought, low herd sizes and concerns about the new world screwworm in the United States. Both taco stores and everyday grocery shoppers are feeling the pinch and say they've been changing their consumption habits as a result.
