It\u2019s no secret that Americans love tacos. They love tacos so much so that they ate more than 4.5 billion tacos last year. That\u2019s about 490,000 miles of tacos or 775 million pounds of tacos, which equates to the weight of two Empire State Buildings. Whether it\u2019s National Taco Day, Taco Tuesday, or any day of the week for that matter, Americans never seem to get enough of this social food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite what you may think, the history of the taco is somewhat unknown. Some historians think that the word \u201ctaco\u201d originated in the silver mines in Mexico in the 18th<\/sup> century. \u201cTaco\u201d referred to little explosives that workers used. These explosives were essentially gunpowder wrapped in pieces of paper, almost like a taquito, which acted like makeshift dynamite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others claim that the taco predates the 18th<\/sup> century and goes back to 16th<\/sup> century before the Spanish arrived in Mexico. Anthropologists say that some evidence supports the fact that inhabitants near the lake region in the Valley of Mexico consumed fish tacos. Other areas of Mexico were said to have other fillings like small insects or locusts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don\u2019t want this to be a history lesson, but we wanted to give you some cool information surrounding a meal we have come to know and love.

The flavors of the fajitas come from the bold marinade. You can leave the vegetables in the marinade for a longer time, if you like, to really absorb the flavors. If you have signature salsa that you make, go ahead and use it as a topping!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
