Taco (disambiguation). A taco is a traditional
Mexican dish comprised of a rolled, folded, pliable
maize tortilla filled with an edible substance. According to the
Real Academia Española, the word taco originally meant (and still means) a plug (rolled paper used to plug a hole) or paper or cloth patch for
musket balls. Care should be taken when using the word taco outside of Mexico, as the
RAE lists 27 possible meanings for the word. A taco is normally served flat on a tortilla that has been warmed up on a
comal; since the tortilla is still soft, it can be folded over or pinched together into a U-shape for convenient consumption. In the variant known as the taco dorado (fried taco), flauta (
flute in English, because of the shape), or
taquito, the tortilla is filled with pre-cooked chicken or
barbacoa, rolled into a cylinder and deep-fried until crisp.
