The United States and Mexico are two nations divided by their tacos. In the United States, tacos most often have ground beef, cheddar cheese, iceberg lettuce, and tomato, in a flour tortilla or a corn hard shell. In Mexico, tacos most often include steak or chicken, crumbly bits of white cheese, onion, and cilantro—all wrapped in two soft corn tortillas. Despite the differences, both types of tacos taste delicious!
