Tacos

About

Tacos are a traditional Mexican dish, deeply rooted in the country's culinary heritage. They consist of a small, hand-sized corn or flour tortilla filled with a variety of ingredients such as seasoned meats, vegetables, and cheese. The tortilla is typically folded around the fillings and eaten by hand, making tacos a popular form of street food. The origins of tacos date back to the indigenous peoples of Mexico, who used tortillas as a form of edible spoon to hold small fish or roasted meats. Tacos offer incredible versatility, with fillings ranging from beef, chicken, and pork to seafood and vegetables. Regional variations include tacos al pastor, carne asada, and tacos de pescado from Baja California. Toppings like salsa, guacamole, and cilantro add flavor and texture. Tacos have become a global phenomenon, enjoyed in diverse forms around the world, reflecting the rich cultural and culinary traditions of Mexico.
