Easy, portable, delicious tacos — rumored to be named after tiny sticks of dynamite used in mines — began as go-to, flavorful street food, but have carved out a place on home menus everywhere. Tacos popped up in America starting in the 1920s, and now the popular meal combines Mexican, American, regional, and worldwide flavors — a recipe for dinnertime success. Our Southwest Taco Simmer Sauce is only the beginning.
