National Taco Day!

Happy National Taco Day! This celebration now falls on the first Tuesday in October, instead of October 4th, so it could align with Taco Tuesday. Perfect timing, right?

Tacos have a rich history dating back centuries in Mexico, where they began as simple street food for workers, featuring soft corn tortillas filled with flavorful meats, veggies, and salsas. Fun fact: the word “taco” may have come from 18th-century Mexican silver miners who used “taco” to describe the little explosives they used to extract ore. Since then, tacos have evolved into a global favorite!

Celebrate with your favorite taco—whether it’s classic carnitas, spicy al pastor, or a veggie twist—and check out more of my food photography at http://SecondFocus.com And this photograph will be shown at the Artists Center at the Galen in Palm Desert later this year. Thanks!
