Tacos in Chicago captured by chicagofoodfinds_ 🌮🤤

💡The word “taco” is quite new. It originated from Mexican silver miners in the 18 th century. Gunpowder was wrapped in a paper like a “taquito” and inserted into rocks before detonation. By this time, tacos were known as the food of the working class, which included miners.
