Origins
First off... where did the tacos came from?
At first, Tacos were originally born thanks to the conquer of Hernan
Cortez, who arrived from Spain to put an end to Tenoxtitlan, and make
room for the new Spain.
Even though the Mexicans resisted and fought, the city fell. And with the
death of Moctezuma, the Spaniards came out victorious.
So a new culture was born, a new religion, and more. And to celebrate,
Cortez decided to prepare a great feast in Coyoacán with his captains and
soldiers, to celebrate their effort.
The conqueror ordered some pigs to be cooked, and to accompany this
protein, the Spaniards wanted some bread. But there was no wheat in the
city. So, the solution was proposed by some Tlaxcaltecs who were there
(because the warrior people allied with Cortez to overthrow Tenoxtitlan),
offering them some tortillas. And in this way, tacos were born.
