The history of tacos predates the arrival of Europeans in Mexico.. Native people in the Valley of Mexico's lake region traditionally eat tacos filled with small fish, according to anthropological evidence. Bernal Diaz del Castillo, the first taco feast enjoyed by Europeans, was documented at the time of the Spanish conquistadors' conquest. In Coyoacan, Hernan Cortes arranged this meal for his captains.. It is unclear why the Spanish used the term taco to describe this indigenous dish. One of the most common sources is the word ataco, which means stuff or to stuff.
Roberto L. Gomez founded The National Taco Council in 1964. In 1967, the council delivered a 55-pound taco to President Johnson.
If you like soft or hard-shelled tortillas, most agree tacos satisfy a snack craving. However, they do also make delectable meals. tacos are more than delicious when considering that many are packed with seasoned, lean meats, and vegetables. With grilled seafood, fish tacos and shrimp tacos add a whole new flavor profile. Ask for fried chicken and hold the cheese.
