Every taco might not be the same…
There are a few differences between Mexican vs a Tex-Mex taco. For example, a Mexican taco involves using a soft corn tortilla, not flour, and topped with fresh cilantro and chopped onions instead of cheese. The Mexican taco is not spicy because you can add salsa to the top. Once you taste it, you will want to do the simple and easy taco happy dance!
