However, more importantly, what’s inside the crunchy shell (or soft tortilla) is endless, whether it’s beef, chicken, pork, seafood, veggies or whatever you’re craving at the moment.
(By the way, according to a recent survey, most Americans think beef is the superior filling.)
Then, there are the endless toppings– from lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, sour cream, salsa and just about anything else. The taco combinations are limitless!
