soft taco
Foldable Mexican handheld
A soft taco is a taco made with a pliable flour or corn tortilla rather than a crispy fried shell.
The flexible wrapper folds around fillings like meat, cheese, lettuce, and salsa without cracking: I'll have two soft tacos and a burrito.
Most traditional Mexican tacos are soft; the distinction matters mainly at American fast-food restaurants where hard-shell tacos are the default.
