Most notable is the friendly cooperation and syncreticization of Islam with the indigenous [[Loa Church]], which resulted in many aspects from Audonia being imported into the Loa Republic, such as cuisine. Prior to this trade, the Loa people subsisted predominantly on stews with breads being unheard of. | ||
The first reference to flatbread occurs in the royal cookbook of the court of Ilahakatu [[Andia'ariohono]], who reigned from 1457-1498. Flatbreads are mentioned numerous times in a number of elaborate dishes, but the taco itself is mentioned once under the name ''ta'ahihako'', or "wrapped fish". The author noted that in the reign of the previous empress, this dish was made with banana leaves, but it became fashionable to make it with a foreign and more expensive wrapping. | The first reference to flatbread occurs in the royal cookbook of the court of Ilahakatu [[Andia'ariohono]], who reigned from 1457-1498.

However, the dish became common outside the [[Floating Palace]] after the reign of Andia'ariohono due to the farming of lentils being employed during the dry season to return nutrients to the soil that had previously been farmed with rice. By the mid 1500s, ''huilalo'' (a term that originally referred to banana leaves but eventually came to refer to flatbreads) became the tax standard, with an average peasant being expected to pay forth a tax equivalent to the worth of 125 ''huilalo'', with the tax increasing substantially with lesser royalty, [[entomantic orders]] and tribal chieftains being expected to pay upwards of the worth of 1,250 ''huilalo''. | However, the dish became common outside the [[Floating Palace]] after the reign of Andia'ariohono due to the farming of lentils being employed during the dry season to return nutrients to the soil that had previously been farmed with rice.

In modern times, the taco is an established part of Loa culture, with most street food stands offering tacos and the dish being enjoyed by nobility and commoners alike.
