There is a whole world of foods that are similar, but aren't exactly tacos. This directory is dedicated to them.

From @maxogden's gist: tacos are a category of food that are relatively small in size and are served on a open platform of thin carbohydrate filled material. things that make you want to sleep after eating or are sealed off when served are not tacos (see instead: burritos, pizza)

• dosa
• roti
• peking duck which is usually served with mushu pancakes
• gua bao
• smørbrød
• lefse
• falafel and pita
• arepas - note: omit top half when serving for proper taco categorization
• really small pizzas - if you make large pizzas they make you want to go to sleep after eating one which breaks the first rule of tacos
• injera - make sure to subdivide into smaller diameter pieces
• small crepes - again the key is the size. also what is the different between a blintz and a crepe?
• sushi - as long as it is not served in complete rolls sushi is a taco. when served in rolls it is known as a sushirrito
• sopes and other antojitos
• tacos tacos are tacos as long as they 1) come from trucks in oakland or 2) are made by hand in front of you from masa flour

not tacos:

• hot dogs - not thin enough
• doner kebab - too heavy
