Taco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A taco is a traditional Mexican dish comprised of a rolled or folded, pliable maize tortilla filled with an edible substance, while meat (generally grilled beef, picadillo, fish, chicken or pork) is most common, there are numerous regional and personal variations on the theme of taco fillings, including vegetables, cheeses, fungus, seafood, or even insects. |
 | | In the variant known as the taco dorado (fried taco), flauta (Flute in English, because of the shape), or taquitos, the tortilla is filled with pre-cooked chicken or barbacoa, rolled into a cylinder and deep-fried until crisp. |
 | | The authentic Mexican taco is not to be confused with the traditional California taco handed down by the Mexican population of old California. |
