Taco

A taco (/ˈtɑːkoʊ/ or UK /ˈtækoʊ/) is a traditional Mexican dish composed of a corn or wheat tortilla folded or rolled around a filling. A taco can be made with a variety of fillings, including beef, pork, chicken, seafood, vegetables and cheese, allowing for great versatility and variety. A taco is generally eaten without utensils and is often accompanied by garnishes such as salsa or chili pepper, avocado or guacamole, cilantro (coriander), tomatoes, onions and lettuce.

Etymology

According to the Real Academia Española, publisher of Diccionario de la Lengua Española, the word taco describes a typical Mexican dish of a maize tortilla folded around food ("Tortilla de maíz enrollada con algún alimento dentro, típica de México"). The original sense of the word is of a "plug" or "wad" used to fill a hole ("Pedazo de madera, metal u otra materia, corto y grueso, que se encaja en algún hueco"). The Online Etymological Dictionary defines taco as a "tortilla filled with spiced meat" and describes its etymology as derived from Mexican Spanish, "light lunch", literally, "plug, wadding". The sense development from "plug" may have taken place among Mexican silver miners, who used explosive charges in plug form consisting of a paper wrapper and gunpowder filling.

    After Eight

    by: Taco

    After eight, a rendezvous with Kate
    She works late, I've had a hard day watching color TV
    After nine, I plan a tease, then dine
    Tonight I'll tell her the words she longs to hear
    Tonight I'll make it clear
    Kate works each day nine to five, serving with true dedication
    She serves you sodas, and ice creams, and pizzas, and chilies
    And burgers, all kinds and tacos too, dig
    Kate works each day nine to five, serving with true dedication
    She serves you sodas, and ice creams, and pizzas, and chilies
    And burgers, all kinds and tacos, too, yeah
    After ten, after dessert, my plan
    Is to dance the latest steps they do at the local ballet
    After twelve, the atmosphere's just swell
    Kate pulls a credit card and I grab her coat
    Tomorrow's another busy day
    Kate works each day nine to five, serving with true dedication
    She serves you sodas, and ice creams, and pizzas and chilies
    And burgers and tacos and French fries, divine
    Eat and feel fine, my favorite hangout serves extra grow time
    So c'mon Kate, don't stay till eight, 'cause you're my date
    Now, tell me what ya got to eat for me? Ohh, Kate
    Don't make me wait
    Not after nine, I says, you are my appetite, ohh, K A T E
    You do to me, why girl? You stuff me and I can't take no more
    Man, five cheeseburgers are too much, what more, I can't dance
    Katie, baby, why don't we make love instead of food?
    I'm ten pounds overweight already and I'm growing
