Introduction
Tacos are one of the most popular Mexican foods to date. The taco we know today is a coming together of varied influences. Each country or region can have a different take, often incorporating their cultural food or ingredients abundant in their locality.
Among the most famous Mexican tacos is the taco al pastor which is influenced by Lebanese shawarma, carnitas, which is braised pork shoulder, barbacoa which is sheep or goat meat, and lengua made of cow tongue.
Tacos can appeal to just about anyone. You can make the usual taco with meat and your choice of condiments or even make it vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free.
Tacos are believed to have originated in Mexican silver mines back in the 18th century. The shell or tortilla in the taco resembles the paper that miners use to wrap gunpowder that they insert into crevices to make way for excavation. The first tacos were called tacos de minero since tacos became a staple and inexpensive street food during those times.
Mexicans celebrate Da del Taco or Day of the Taco every March 31st, while National Taco Day in the United States is celebrated every October 4th. The French also have their own Tacos Day on July 31st.
