How to Eat a Taco

Folding all four corners of a tortilla into the center is a taco-eating faux pas. Learn how to really eat a taco by following these steps.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Tortillas
• Any filling of choice

How to Eat a Taco

1. Lay the tortilla shell flat.
2. Fill the tortilla with any filling of choice.
3. Fold only two of the sides together.
4. From here, you will have to lift the taco up and lean your head into the taco. Do not fold the side up to make it look like a burrito. This is different--this is a taco.
5. Although some of the filling may fall out of the taco, do as the Mexicans do: Pick up a tortilla chip and eat the leftovers by scooping up the filling with the tortilla chip.

Tips & Warnings

• Remember, only two sides fold up--not all four.
• As stated, some of the filling may fall out. Do not pick it up with your hands or fork. Use a tortilla chip or tortilla to eat the leftovers.
