French tacos — Rhône-Alpes, France

French tacos, or simply tacos (with an "s" even in the singular) is a fast food dish from French cuisine, very different from the Mexican taco. This hybrid between panini, wrap, kebab and burrito consists of a wheat galette folded on itself and grilled, always containing a filling that is most often made up of meat, fries and a sauce generally made from creamy industrial cheese, called "cheese sauce". Excessively caloric, fatty and salty, tacos is considered by the CLCV consumer organization as "junk food". This dish was invented between the 1990s and the early 2000s in the Rhône-Alpes region, but its exact origins remain disputed. It became popular in France in the 2010s, especially among young people of the time for whom it constitutes a generational dish. It also began to be produced in other countries from the mid-2010s. In 2023, according to a ranking of fast food chains, the revenue of the six major French tacos chains was approximately 428 million euros, up 27.5% compared to the previous year. --- Entry compiled automatically from [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30737843) and Wikipedia.
