Tacos are very popular even in the United States and Canada. In Mexico, where tacos originated from, they can be found everywhere, literally on every street corner. Tacos consist of meat, refried beans or vegetables served in a flour or corn made tortilla. Tacos were eaten in Mexico before the Europeans came to the land, and they were given the name 'taco' which in Spanish means 'a wedge'. Natives mostly ate fish tacos in corn tortillas that were made by hand. As time went on the ingredients of the tacos evolved. The modern day taco now incorporates hot sauce and some cheese to enhance the flavour of a taco. When the ancient recipes of the natives began to be used in the US, Tex-Mex style food was created which used the spices of Mexican food paired with lots of cheese and sauces in true Texan style.
