What is Taco?
In Mexico, a taco is a typical dish made of tiny maize or wheat tortilla folded in half and filled with various ingredients. The tortilla is rolled up around the filling and then eaten by hand to consume.
It is possible to fill a taco with a wide range of ingredients, including meats such as beef and pig and seafood, beans and veggies, and cheese. This type of Mexican street cuisine is known as tacos and has spread around the globe.
As an alternative to burritos, bigger and folded rather than rolled, taquitos, deep-fried rolls of dough, or chalupas/tostadas, which use a fried tortilla before filling tacos, might be seen as an alternative to these other related cuisines.
Summary
Tacos have been around even before the Spanish arrived in Mexico. Tacos stuffed with little fish were historically eaten by indigenous inhabitants in the Lake Valley of Mexico, according to anthropological findings. Bernal Daz del Castillo reported the first taco feast attended by Europeans.
