How to Make Tacos
Learning how to make a taco is as easy as learning how to make a sandwich. In fact, in Mexico, the two words are practically synonymous: "taco" simply means a tortilla wrapped around a filling, and what's inside varies from region to region. Two of the most popular types are tacos al Pastor, filled with finely sliced pork, and tacos de pescado (fish tacos), which originate from the coastal towns.
