TACOS FROM MEXICO
Like fajitas and burritos, tacos are a tortilla stuffed with different
combinations of meats and vegetables, sometimes also legumes.
But then, what,s the difference? Fajitas and burritos are usually prepared
with wheat tortillas, while Mexican taco is prepared with corn tortilla,
somewhat smaller that the previous one.
