People all over the world know what a taco is and most of them have had at least one in their life, although in many different countries tacos can be very different. The Aztec people of the Mexico area had been making "tacos" since around 3,000 BC. Different cultures in Mexico alone filled their version of the taco with different things, some used insects even! Although corn was the most common way to make the wrap of a taco some of the ancient peoples did use wheat also.
Well I personally am not sure that I would be able to eat a taco that alls it had was insects in it. I'm more used to the good old "American" style tacos, just beef, cheese, lettuce, and a lot of probably very unhealthy things. Nowadays it has been changed into all sorts of different things, you can put almost anything on the taco, from insects to seafood to just seemingly ordinary meats like beef or chicken. I decided to do a blog specifically for the taco because I figured that since I love the "Americanized" version so much, then why not learn more about it. Maybe sometime in the future I will get a chance to try an authentic Mexican taco with all the fixings and all sorts of spicy things on it, but probably not for awhile.
