October 4th is National Crunchy Taco Day in the United States.

Tacos are a traditional Mexican dish in which a small wheat or corn tortilla is topped with a filling. The tortilla is then folded around the filling and eaten by hand. Tacos can have a wide range of fillings, including meat, vegetables, seafood and cheese, and combinations of several ingredients are common. These are then garnished with such as sour cream, salsa and guacamole. Chillies and hot peppers are common accompaniments.

Crunchy tacos are perhaps the type that many are most familiar with; these have the tortillas folded into a U-shape and are fried, making them hard and crunchy, as opposed to the soft tacos. Soft tacos are wrapped around the fillings; crunchy tacos are stuffed with the filling.
