Which Nation Is Allowed to Claim The Tacos? || Blue Agave Cantina


Not just on Tuesdays, tacos are a popular food all around the world. It is not surprising that tacos exist in a variety of forms, sizes, and culinary fusions given their widespread use in restaurant and family meal menus. In fact, it's thought that just Americans devour 4.5 billion of them annually.
People claim to be experts on this dish's history and describe the tacos at their favourite neighbourhood restaurant as "the most authentic." Unfortunately, a lot of people are unaware that the tacos they are currently eating don't "fold up" to the originals. What then is original? Today's historians make assumptions about the genesis of tacos and how they came to be the multi-cultural dish we all love. We hope you will gain a deeper understanding of this multicultural comfort dish as we go through the taco's history. Why don't we address the pressing inquiry, "Are tacos Mexican?"

WHERE ARE TACOS ORIGINATED?
Tacos have two main parts: a tortilla and the mouthwatering ingredients within. As a result, tracing its beginnings is a difficult task. Both the taco and the tortilla have similar but significantly distinct origins.

THE TORTILLA
It is generally accepted that the invention of tortillas coincided with the introduction of corn to the Americas around 3000 BC. The people of the time, especially in what is now Mexico, considered maize to be highly important and relied on it to raise their standard of living. Many even thought it kept them physically alive. Scientists have found proof that corn was processed into a fine powder akin to flour approximately 1500 BC, which could then be used to make a cuisine similar to flatbread. It's possible that this was the first tortilla.
To prevent burns from the heat emanating from hot stones or other cooking utensils, these flatbreads were later employed as a scoop for other dishes.

THE TACOS
Although tortillas have long been used to wrap a variety of foods, tacos as we know them today probably got their start in the Mexican silver mines of the 18th century. One of the explosive charges used to remove the ore was referred to as a "taco" component. The taco, in this case, was the paper used to enclose the gunpowder before it was inserted into the holes drilled into the rocks.
The term "tacos" was first used in a dictionary in the 19th century to describe "tacos de minero," or "miners tacos," which has led many academics to believe that the mines were the true genesis of the modern taco. Other meals that resemble tacos are thought to have originated in mines. Consider the taquito, which is essentially a rolled taco; given how much it resembles a stick of dynamite, it is simple to see the connection to the mining industry. You'll find taquerias, restaurants, and places that serve breakfast tacos, street tacos, birria, fish, and more on our list of the best tacos in Houston, Texas!

TACOS ARE they American?
Both the taco and the tortilla are not American inventions, as we've shown. The tacos that Americans have come to know and enjoy from well-known chain restaurants or even in their own homes, however, are quite Americanized in several aspects. Cross-cultural influences that result in a range of flavour profiles and draw on the distinctive components of a particular region are the foundation of the history of this particular taco.
In contrast to Mexican food, which is also a synthesis of regional cuisines, American tacos are regarded as Tex-Mex, as was previously indicated. Therefore, even though tacos may not have originated in America, the Americanized form of the taco was made using the same genuine procedure as its ancestor.

REAL MEXICAN TACO: WHAT IS IT?
As you can see, many tacos served today fall within the Tex-Mex category rather than the original Mexican category. Although real meats and toppings have recently made a comeback, particularly in street tacos, it can be challenging to find authentic tacos in the US. Nevertheless, there are a few eateries that serve genuinely authentic tacos in numerous locations.
Making authentic tacos at home can be challenging as well. Although many of the prepackaged seasoning packets you may buy at the grocery store have a flavour that you might connect with Mexico, in actuality they are also an approximate Americanization of that flavour. Many of the Mexican spices that are utilised to provide genuine flavours come from peppers that aren't domestically farmed. That implies that the majority of what we in the US refer to as tacos are someone's best efforts to recreate this delectable dish.
