Question 1

How do I heat up my tortillas?

Accepted Answer

One way to make warmed tortillas is to wrap them in aluminum foil and heat them in an oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees F. Keep them wrapped until you are ready to use them. You can also heat them in a non-stick pan with a little vegetable oil on the stovetop just for a minute on each side until they are lightly browned.

Question 2

What are the best tortillas to use for Mexican street tacos?

Accepted Answer

Both corn and flour tortillas are great for this street taco recipe although the authentic tacos you find in Mexico are made with corn tortillas for that corn flavor. But some people do not like the flavor. The flour tortillas do not have a corn flavor so you can taste all of the delicious ingredients in the tacos.

Question 3

Why is it called Taco Tuesday?

Accepted Answer

Although the restaurant Taco John's in Wyoming has held the trademark for Taco Tuesday since 1989, others claim the phrase was used way before that. In fact, it was printed in a 1933 post in the El Paso Herald newspaper as a campaign to sell tacos on Tuesday at the White Star Cafeteria at St. Regis Hotel in El Paso, Texas.

Question 4

Where did the first tacos originate?

Accepted Answer

The ancient Mexicans made corn tortillas filled with meat, onions, and cilantro long before the Spanish got there. They did not have all the toppings like tomatoes, sour cream, lettuce, and cheese. As a matter of fact, these are American toppings that you will not often find on a street taco in Mexico today either.
