Tacos are a traditional Mexican dish that consists of a small corn or wheat tortilla that is wrapped around a variety of fillings. The fillings for tacos can be made with a wide range of ingredients, including meat, seafood, vegetables, and cheese. Common meats used in tacos include beef, chicken, pork, and fish. Vegetables that are often used as fillings for tacos include lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and avocado. Tacos can be served either soft or hard, depending on the type of tortilla that is used. Soft tacos are made with a soft, pliable tortilla that is folded or rolled around the filling, while hard tacos are made with a crispy fried tortilla shell that is filled with the ingredients. Tacos are often served with a variety of condiments, such as salsa, guacamole, and sour cream.
