Is a meat and cheese taco a taco?

[rogue06]

I think the real question here oughta be if a soft taco is a real taco

And what about those fish tacos?

[rogue06]

Btw. When I order a cheese burger I ask for it to come with no garnish just the meat and cheese.

I order it medium rare and like for the juices to soak into the bread and not get sponged up with a bunch of junk that I'll just remove and set aside anyway.




Oh. And bacon. Thereby winning the thread in accordance to Jed's Law.

There are other important questions

Are tacos actually sandwiches see taco shells are essentially just breads?

Are tacos not sandwiches since they only have one piece of bread folded over? This is part of the dilemma we have with hot dogs.

Two words. Open-faced sandwich

Is a meat and cheese taco a taco?
I ask, because of what Rogue06 has just professed in this thread: https://theologyweb.com/campus/forum...sandwich/page3 has me terribly worried that Rogue06 has not truly graced his taste buds to the true glory of tacos! Plus the discussion of hot-dog being a samich inspired this inquiry.

So help me elucidate, is it a taco?

And what's more, what should constitute a taco?

As an opening, I argue that three fundamental elements are indispensable:

The tortilla (made of CORN, not wheat )
The salsa (be it red, green, spicy or mild).
and.... (the confusing bit)
The filling (red/brown beans, onions, Romero or cilantro herbs, guacamole, minced chicken, lamb, beef, pork, fresh or dry cheese, etc.)

Cheese and meat being a taco? I don't think so.

What say you all?
