Taco
 
 
 


A taco is a popular Mexican-style dish consisting of a corn tortilla folded around a filling of ground or shredded cooked beef, chicken, chorizo or refried beans. Other ingredients include cheese, tomato, onion and shredded lettuce. Tacos are often topped with sour cream and salsa. In the United States, tortillas are usually deep-fried to form a U-shaped vessel to hold the ingredients, although soft tacos are growing in popularity. In Mexico, soft tortillas rolled around a filling are more common.
