Tacos

September 11, 2009 by Daniel C

The word taco actually means “snack” in Spanish, but this word is used for one dish in particular. A taco is a sandwich like snack made with tortillas, a meat or bean filling, garnish, and spicy sauce. You may find taco shells, or folded and fried tortillas, in U.S. supermarkets, but you won’t find them in Mexico. Mexicans do sometimes fry tacos, filling and all, and then eat the snacks while still hot.
