Loading multiple tab delimited files in R

I found some information on how to load multiple files csv files into R. I am trying modify their code to work with files that are tab separated. This is the code that

#list of files
files <- list.files(currentFilePath)

for(filename in files){
  print(filename)
}

allFiles.list <- lapply(files, read.csv)

This code works but treats does not recognize that the data is tab separated. I have seen examples on using read.table however, this is with a single file. I don't see how I can do it using the lapply approach above with multiple files.

You can add arguments to FUN using the ... argument of lapply, e.g. 

allFiles.list <- lapply(files, read.table, sep = '\t')
