Taco Tuesday is a meal staple in many households, schools, and workplaces. From soft corn tortillas cradling succulent fillings to crunchy shells packed with flavor, our Taco Tuesday-inspired fabrics capture the essence of this tasty tradition.
Our Taco Tuesday and Salsa fabric collection features two taco patterns with distinct backgrounds: a sleek black canvas for a bold statement or a crisp white for a fresh, clean look. Whether you prefer the drama of black or the purity of white, these backgrounds serve as the perfect canvas for our taco-themed designs.
Soft vs. Crunchy
Fun, hand-drawn illustrations of soft and hard tacos dance across the fabric, celebrating the diversity of this beloved dish, and we kick it up a notch with some bottles of hot sauce. These patterns bring a playful, mouthwatering touch to your creations, making them perfect for aprons, kitchen towels, kitchen curtains, tablecloths, napkins, or even quirky fashion pieces.
Historical Tidbits
Tacos have a rich history dating back to indigenous Mexican cultures. The word ‘taco’ is believed to have originated from the word ‘tlahco’, meaning ‘half’ or ‘in the middle’. Tacos have evolved over centuries, becoming a global phenomenon loved by people of all backgrounds. While the exact origins of tacos are unclear, some believe they can be traced back to ancient Aztec and Mayan cultures. These civilizations used tortillas as a vessel for various fillings, including fish, ant eggs, and insects. (Source: Smithsonian Magazine, Date: April 2017)
Tacos made their way to the United States in the late 19th century, particularly in areas with significant Mexican immigrant populations. The first known taco recipe in an English-language cookbook was published in 1914. (Source: NPR, Date: April 2012)
