The history of tacos predates the arrival of Europeans in Mexico... The native people of Mexico's lake region traditionally eat tacos filled with small fish, according to anthropological evidence. Bernal Diaz del Castillo, one of the Spanish conquistadors, chronicled Europe's first taco feast. In Coyoacan, Hernan Cortes arranged this meal for his captains. It's unclear why the Spanish used the word taco to describe this indigenous dish. One possible origination is the word ataco, which means stuff or to stuff.
The National Taco Council was established in 1964 by Roberto L. Gomez. In 1967, the council gave President Johnson a 55-pound taco.
Most agree tacos satisfy a snack craving whether you like soft or hard-shelled tortillas. They also make delectable meals, but they do not stop making delicious meals. Consider that tacos are packed with seasoned, lean meats, and vegetables, they are anything but delectable. A whole new flavor profile can be added to fish tacos and shrimp tacos with grilled seafood. Request grilled chicken and hold the cheese.
