Answer 3

Hi, do you mean taco? ok, the corn tortilla is obviously traditional, as the corn is originally from Mexico, prehispanic cultures ate tortillas centuries ago.

Whatever you put inside of it.... well cheese is not part of a traditional taco, however nowadays is common to find it as an optional ingredient at taco restaurants (taquerias) but not shredded american or cheddar cheese, is melted Chihuahua or Manchego style cheese.

Also hard shells, sour cream, lettuce, chopped tomatoes are never ever on Mexican authentic tacos, all of those are texmex ingredients.

Come try the real ones, you'll love them.
