tacos

Stuffed folded tortillas

Tacos are a Mexican dish consisting of a folded or rolled tortilla filled with meat, beans, cheese, vegetables, or other ingredients.

The shell may be soft (flour or corn tortilla) or crispy (fried corn).

Tacos range from authentic street food to heavily Americanized versions with ground beef and shredded cheese: We're getting tacos for lunch.
