A LITTLE TACO HISTORY

“Taco” was a word that Mexicans would use toward Americans to identify the dish. They actually used other words to describe tacos that varied by region and local culture. It was introduced to the United States by Mexican migrants when they came into work and brought their food with them. Mexican food carts in Los Angeles were run by women called “chili queens”. They sold delicious affordable soft corn tortilla tacos that were spicy and unfamiliar to the Americans.

Traditionally, freshly made, soft, flat corn tortillas were used with super simple fillings.  Over time, ingredients such as cheese, lettuce, sour cream, and tomato were introduced to adapt to the American palette. Now you can tailor the taco fillings to your own style and experiment at home.

So what kind of taco eater are you? Are you torn between that crunch of a hard shell or the soft pillowy tortilla shell? Get inspired by our selection of Instant Pot taco recipes with a twist!
