Please note that the stiff shells dubiously called tacos which are sold outside of Mexico are an industrial invention unknown in Mexico. They are a world apart from traditional Mexican tacos and are unworthy of the name. They should be called " vaguely like tacos but not tacos at all although you may enjoy them if you don't know what authentic tacos are like ".
Authentic Mexican tacos are made with SOFT corn tortillas, which are warmed through then spread with a filling and often topped with a spicy salsa, lettuce and some sour cream before being rolled or folded up and eaten with the hands.
Enchiladas are a sort of taco except they are generally covered in a sauce and baked in a dish before serving . You need a knife and fork to eat these.
Three Tacos are quite substantial so the tacos recipes have been included in the main course sections of this site.
Below is a recipe for fresh homemade corn tortillas plus some fillers to make up your authentic tacos. And if you wish to make up a fresh salsa to go with your tacos, you'll find some in the salsas and Relishes section.

Tacos
are the Mexican equivalent to a hot sandwich. In other words, it is the
generic name for a corn tortilla which is spread with a filling of
your choice, folded or rolled up and eaten with the hands. They are a popular
snack in Mexico, often sold by street vendors to passers-by.
N.B.
A
burrito is a taco made with a WHEAT flour tortilla. These are only served in
northern Mexico and are also unknown in central/ southern Mexico.
