Lebanese roots, right. But a taco is far enough away to be considered it’s own cuisine.

The above commenter didn't read the article they posted. Al pastor, the specific type of meat used for Tacos al pastor, are Lebanese in origin. Tacos predate the Spanish conquest.

I didn’t read it either and I didn’t know that . That’s awesome

Read the article more closely. Tacos al pastor (which is just a type of filling) have immigrant roots. Tacos as a concept are Mexican and predate them by centuries.

I'm just saying, they had help from another culture. It's all good.

One specific filling did. Not tacos as a whole. Your comment is misleading
