Tacos
Tacos can be enjoyed many ways. You can find them at numerous restaurants. The best ones however, are found at hispanic restaurants or they are either home-made. A taco is a traditional Mexican dish consisting of a small hand-sized corn or flour tortilla topped with a filling. The tortilla is then folded around the filling and eaten by hand. A taco can be made with a variety of fillings, including beef, pork, chicken, seafood, vegetables, and cheese. They are garnished with various condiments, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and vegetables, such as lettuce, onion, tomatoes, and chiles.

My recipe for Tacos!:
- Purchase all ingriedients you want for your tacos. Ie: tortillas, meat and toppings
- Slice and dice vegtables
- Grill carne asada (or your preferred meat choice) until it's cooked to your preference. Then, chop it into small pieces.
- Warm the tortillas in a skillet for about a minute on each side to make them pliable. Tortillas may also be warmed in a microwave oven. Arrange however many tortillas you would like on a plate.
- Lay a generous amount of beef over them.
- Top the tacos with whatver vegetables, condiments and/or salsas you like. For instance, lettuce, cilantro, tomatoes, salsa, sour cream, lime, radishes, onions, or even jalapenos.
- ENJOY!
Tortas
Tortas are typically made using one of several Mexican breads. A Torta could be made using bolillo roll. This bread has a crispy, flavorful crust and a soft, chewy crumb. Tortas come in all sorts of varieties! Some of the most common tortas have meats prepared similarly to taco fillings like chicken, steak, carnitas, and even ham. My favorite however, is a torta made with carne de asada, better known as steak. Similiar to tacos, they can also be enjoyed with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, onions, beans and several other yummy ingredients.
