While the true history and origination of the taco is unknown, is it believed that the word taco dates back the 1700’s in the silver mines in Mexico. The word taco was used to define tiny explosives that were used to help the workers extract the silver. Basically it was gunpowder wrapped in pieces of paper and the taco was then placed between rocks and the fuse was lite.
The first dictionary reference to the taco was on the 1800’s. It was described as a taco de minero or miner’s taco. This strengths the folklore and the link of the source of the origination to the silver mines.
