A taco is a traditional Mexican dish consisting of a tortilla, typically made from corn or flour, filled with a variety of ingredients. Common fillings include seasoned meats like beef, chicken, or pork, along with beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and salsa. Tacos may also feature healthier options such as grilled vegetables, lean proteins, and avocado, which provides heart-healthy fats. While tacos can be nutritious due to their fresh toppings and protein content, their healthiness largely depends on preparation methods and ingredients. Fried tortillas or excessive amounts of cheese and sour cream may increase calorie and fat content. Originating from Mexico, tacos have become a globally popular street food, celebrated for their versatility and bold flavors. Many variations exist, allowing for customization to fit different dietary needs, whether plant-based, gluten-free, or lower in fat.
