The original Taco, made with real corn and nixtamal.
The tortilla was invented just a few years before the spanish came to Mexico. The Aztecs and all nahuatl culture knew how to produce corn and other seeds. But they didn't know the "nixtamalización" process until the falling of the Aztec Empire, and before the Colony, I don't know how many years, but maybe from 25 to 100 years before Hernán Cortez came to México.
Foods like mexican sea-food or pozole, burrito, taco bell. Are not complete mexican. They are because they born here but as part of the colliding culture process between Mexico and Spain. But there was already the tamal, champurrado, chocolate, chicle, mole, and so much other mexican food based on corn, beans, cocoa and so much others natural products.
Pozole was born in the "Barroco" period, when both cultures existed as a new one. Also carnitas, birria or barbacoa are before the Colony. We didn't know chees or any other milk products.
The mexicans did eat nopales and aguacate, because they are real mexican food, but now, as any other country, we combine them.
Mexicans that know this, are not only favorite plates, but we are also proud of this.
So if you eat a Burrito, or a Taco Bell product made without nixtamal: Please! don't say you are eating mexican food because you're not eating mexican food. They are not made with real tortillas, they use flour, instead the classic nixtamal or "masa para tortillas".
