Taco Tuesday Everyday


Hey taco enthusiasts! 🌮✨ Today, we're diving into the wonderful world of tacos and shaking things up with a taco extravaganza! Tacos are an easy to prepare meal that you can cook for one or twenty-one with ease. Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with a variety of flavors that will make your taco night unforgettable. 🎉

The Taco Shell Shuffle 🌮

Let's kick things off with the base – the taco shell. We've got a trio of options to cater to every taste:

  1. Classic Crunchy Corn:
    The OG of tacos! Load up these golden beauties with your favorite fillings for that satisfying crunch.
  2. Soft Flour Hugs:
    For those who prefer a more tender embrace, soft flour tortillas are the way to go. They're perfect for holding together a medley of savory ingredients.
  3. Adventurous Lettuce Wraps:
    Feeling a bit light and fresh? Swap out the traditional shells with crisp lettuce leaves. It's a low-carb option that's big on flavor. Or skip the wrap entirely.

The Main Event 🥩🌶️

Now, let's talk fillings – the heart and soul of any taco:

  1. Sizzling Beef Fajita Fiesta:
    Marinated strips of beef cooked to perfection with colorful bell peppers and onions. Top it off with guacamole and sour cream for the ultimate fiesta in your mouth. I like adding red pepper seeds for a bit more heat.
  2. Zesty Lime Chicken Delight:
    Tender chicken, marinated in zesty lime and a hint of chili, grilled to perfection. Pair it with fresh pico de gallo and shredded cheese for a burst of flavor. You can also use leftover chicken, home made or rotisserie for these.
  3. Spicy Shrimp Sensation:
    Take your taste buds on a trip with spicy shrimp seasoned to perfection. Add a refreshing mango salsa for a tropical twist that'll leave you craving more. Shrimp is quick and easy to cook up. If you have to remove the tails, they can be saved in your freezer for a fish stock.
  4. Vegan Fiesta Explosion:
    Don't worry, plant-based pals – we've got you covered! Black bean and corn salsa, sautéed veggies, and creamy avocado will make your vegan taco dreams come true. You already know to check for the use of animal fats in any of your wraps and prepared beans.

The Finishing Touches 🎉🥑

Let's not forget the toppings – the grand finale:

  1. Salsa Galore:
    Mix it up with a variety of salsas – from mild to wild. Pico de gallo, mango salsa, or a fiery habanero concoction, take your pick! Get adventurous roasting and making your own salsas. These are wonderful made from your own garden produce in season.
  2. Cheese Wonderland:
    Whether it's shredded cheddar, crumbled queso fresco, or gooey melted Monterey Jack, cheese is the glue that holds everything together.
  3. Guacamole Glory:
    Creamy, dreamy guacamole – because let's face it, tacos without guac are like a party without music. If you are cooking for one, you can buy pre-made quac in small containers.
  4. Lime Wedge Love:
    A squeeze of fresh lime adds that zingy burst that ties all the flavors together. We keep a bowl of limes at all times for flavor.

So there you have it – a guide to creating a taco spread that'll have your taste buds doing a happy dance. Mix and match, get creative, and most importantly, enjoy every flavorful bite! 🌮💃#TacoTuesdayEveryday
