Are tacos really authentic mexican food? ?!


Question: Are tacos really authentic mexican food!? !?
Because really, if you substitute a bun for the taco shell, you have a hamburger!.
It seems like it was a food that originated here in the States, contrived to be something, they could promote through the mexican culture now living in the U!.S!. Sorta, ‘mexican hamburger’ Hmmm, same ingredients: Lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, beef, and a salsa instead of ketchup…!.!.

Answers:
Taco's are definitely authentic mexican food!. You have to remember that there are MANY ways to make a taco!.

Tortilla's are the "bread" of Mexico!. Soft "taco's" can include a variety of different ingredients be it: ground beef, chicken, pork, cow tongue, carnita's, or even tripe wrapped in a corn OR flour tortilla!. Taco's can be filled with anything from lettuce and tomatoes, to rice, refried beans, black beans, pinto beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, or even juevos (eggs)!. A deep fried corn tortilla can be shaped into a HARD taco shell!.

It's probably true that a taco (or even burrito) might be considered the Mexican equivalent of a sandwich!.!. just think about the variety of things we stick between 2 slices of bread!Www@FoodAQ@Com

well tacos in mexico are a very popular street food!. and no, they originated down in mexico!. also, in mexico the tacos are way different then the ones you'd get at a taco bell!. in mexico they use fajita meat or carne asada with a corn tortilla!. i freakin hate the cheap US version of tacos, they are freakin gross !! !.
