Are tacos the perfect food? If you go by the love this food gets on social every Taco Tuesday, you’d probably think the answer is yes. And I suspect that might at least be close to the truth.
After all, aside from putting a food in another food that serves as a wrap, there are very few rules when it comes to tacos (unless, of course, you’re going to get all traditional and say anything other than an authentic Mexican taco is not a taco, but … let’s not go there, ‘kay?).
As most of us experience tacos, they can be hard or soft, and filled with anything from veggies to steak to seafood and more. They can be spicy, savory, even a little sweet. You can have a breakfast taco (and you don’t have to eat them only in the morning!), and it’s easy to make tacos dairy-free, gluten-free, etc. Setting up a taco bar for a group is one of the simplest ways to host a group for dinner and still make everyone happy!
But! In case you’re not as well-versed in the nuances of making every type of taco known to man as I am, I thought I’d celebrate this Taco Tuesday with 22 tasty taco recipes. Got a fave that I missed? Drop it like it’s hot in the comments!
