The History Of Tacos
Probably the most common among Mexican foods is the Taco. It is a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling. The filling may include beef, mutton or shellfish and often has salsa, vegetables and cheeses for added variety. A Taco is usually eaten using bare hands.
The dish was served early on by the Aztecs and only the Spanish gave its name which actually means “light snack”. It used to be that the Mexican women served this as a practical way of serving comida to husbands and guests.
The taco as we know it today is the result of an evolution from the simple tortilla filled with meat. It gained popularity that it has become the most known and well-loved Mexican food of all time.
Tacos can either have soft shells or hard shells, both have fillings of meat (or beans), vegetables and cheese. Soft shell tacos are the not crunchy ones – flexible and moldable. A soft-shell taco can retain freshness even when in travel; only it can get soggy because of the salsa filling. It can be eaten with hands with less spillage, as long as it is not overfilled. A hard shell taco is the one which has that crunchy u-shaped tortilla. The shell may break so easily so it is best to consume it once prepared
