Hm. My answer didn't post, and I had to log in again.

I chose poorly, as the guardian says in the movie, but then I'd never heard of these before. I based my answer on "pastor" meaning shepherd, but that misled me.

Any idea how they got that name?

[Joan Simpson]

Missed it.

I guessed correctly only because I make tacos and figured out which answer would be best in a taco.

[Mike Nolan]

I couldn't find anything on where the name comes from, but apparently they developed in Lebanese communities in central Mexico. They're apparently similar to döner kebabs. (When our younger son was studying in Berlin, he basically lived on döner kebabs, which are the most common form of fast food there.)

[BakerAunt]

Perhaps they were a popular lunch for the Lebanese shepherds?

[Mike Nolan]

Maybe it was based on 'pastoral' meaning something from the rural countryside?
