About TACO BELL, Taco Salad
The taco is a classic Mexican dish made of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a savory filling, eaten by hand and endlessly adaptable. A cornerstone of Mexican cuisine that has become a global favorite, it can be filled with grilled or braised meats such as carne asada, al pastor, chicken, or fish, as well as beans, cheese, and vegetables. Tacos are typically finished with fresh garnishes like salsa, onion, cilantro, lime, avocado or guacamole, and crumbled cheese, and they come both soft, on a warm pliable tortilla, and hard, in a crisp fried shell.
Their nutrition varies widely with the fillings, but a taco can offer a balanced mix of protein, carbohydrates, fiber, and vegetables. From authentic street-style tacos to hearty American versions, they are a versatile, crowd-pleasing meal for any occasion. Warming the tortillas keeps them soft and pliable and brings out their flavor. Choose fresh tortillas and your favorite fillings, and assemble tacos just before eating so the tortilla stays warm and does not turn soggy.
