National Soft Taco Day
National Soft Taco Day celebrates the flexible, foldable taco made with a soft tortilla. Observed annually on October 3, it is a chance to enjoy soft tacos filled with ingredients such as spiced meats, beans, vegetables, cheese, lettuce, or tomatoes.
According to WhatNationalDayIsIt.com’s account, soft tacos developed as a variation on traditional tacos, using a soft flour tortilla instead of a crisp shell. The site places their emergence in the 1960s and notes that fast-food chains helped make them more widely accessible in the United States. It also records online activity around the holiday, including 256 mentions and particularly lively discussion on October 3, 2017.
