History of Tacos

Tacos are a Mexican tradition that goes back hundreds of dotage. In gospel, anthropological evidence suggests that indigenous people alive in Mexico ate tacos filled with mini fish. Hernn Corts may have been one of the primary Europeans to have haggard tacos during a feast with captains worked closest him as documented by Bernal Diaz del Castillo.

Taco ingredients can vary more so than perhaps any other dish. Traditional taco ingredients include Spanish style sausage, grilled or fried shrimp, shredded chicken or beef or a variety of other ingredients. Different regions in Mexico can vary drastically in what types of ingredients they fill tacos with. For example, many of the tacos you would find in the Baja region are made with shrimp or fish and served with pico de gallo and mayonnaise sauces.

Taco ingredients are served in corn or wheat tortillas and are typically eaten without utensils. Tacos are often accompanied by garnishments such as avocado, tomatoes, guacamole, salsa and cilantro.

Some of the tacos we enjoy today in the United States and Canada are loose interpretations of the Mexican tradition. Hard - shell tacos are one of the most famous non - traditional versions of tacos.
