==Etymology==
According to the Real Academia Española, publisher of ''Diccionario de la Lengua Española'', the word ''taco'' describes a typical Mexican dish of a maize tortilla folded around food ("Tortilla de maíz enrollada con algún alimento dentro, típica de México"). The original sense of the word is of a "plug" or "wad" used to fill a hole ("Pedazo de madera, metal u otra materia, corto y grueso, que se encaja en algún hueco").〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Definition: Taco )〕 The Online Etymological Dictionary defines ''taco'' as a "tortilla filled with spiced meat" and describes its etymology as derived from Mexican Spanish, "light lunch", literally, "plug, wadding".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymological Dictionary - Taco )〕 The sense development from "plug" may have taken place among Mexican silver miners, who used explosive charges in plug form consisting of a paper wrapper and gunpowder filling.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Where Did the Taco Come From? )〕
