ON MEXICO
Tacos are a traditional Mexican dish that has gained
popularity worldwide. These delicious treats consist of a
folded or rolled tortilla, typically made of corn or flour,
filled with various ingredients. The filling can include a
variety of proteins such as beef, pork, chicken, or
seafood, and may be accompanied by toppings like
lettuce, tomatoes, onions, salsa, guacamole, and cheese.
One of the most iconic types of tacos is the "street taco,"
which is characterized by its small size and simple yet
flavorful ingredients. Street tacos often feature double-
layered small corn tortillas, providing a sturdy base to
hold the filling. Common protein choices for street tacos
include carne asada (grilled beef), al pastor (marinated
and spit-grilled pork), and carnitas (slow-cooked and
shredded pork).
Tacos can be enjoyed in various styles, such as soft tacos,
where the tortilla is pliable, or crispy tacos, where the
tortilla is fried until crunchy. Additionally, tacos can be
served in different regional variations across Mexico,
each with its own unique flavors and ingredients.
Tacos have become a global culinary phenomenon, with
diverse interpretations and creative fillings found in
many international cuisines. They are a versatile and
customizable dish, making them a favorite among people
of all ages and backgrounds. Whether enjoyed at a street
food stand, a casual eatery, or a high-end restaurant,
tacos continue to be a beloved and satisfying choice for
food enthusiasts worldwide.
